It’s very common to think that we have many great ideas, many great hopes and dreams, but sit back and wonder who is actually living their dreams? A good friend once told me to think of it as a vision rather than a dream. He thought this would be helpful to me. I think it may be.

I often think about why I take my time with certain things. I believe that I am trying my best to trust my instincts and I have learned that sometimes when you jump too soon into any decision, you often lose sight of other things that begin to surface along the way that had you taken more time you would have been able to avoid. For instance, credit cards by just basic theory alone sound like a great idea; use them only when you need them. But as many people have learned the hard way, myself included, too much of a good thing can make your life more difficult in the long run.

So, I pace myself with all things. I don’t know if this is the best way to live my life, but it is the only way I know how to. “Everything is important,” Brian Tracy, self-made millionaire and “patience is a virtue” said by another great person are both very compelling, powerful quotes that I try my very best to live by.

I do have a vision for my life. There are certain things I want in my life. I do believe the ache and yearning for more can in a sense be a good thing. It propels me to continue steadily toward my dreams. However, I am also working on more of a sense of peace with where I am currently at in my life as well.

I have to keep reminding myself that we are always growing, learning, and changing; yet, ironically, staying the same, learning more about who we truly are. I have found that sharing my thoughts helps me get through some of the best and most difficult times of my life. I also believe by sharing my thoughts it helps others through their times and in turn allows them to feel more comfortable being able to share theirs.
