Dream Big

I'm currently reading the book "Life Without Limits" by Lucinda Bassett. It's an easy-to-read book with a very positive message about seriously and consciously reassessing what we want out of life and working through the obstacles we place in front of ourselves that prevent us from achieving our dreams. It encourages us to dream big and to set goals for ourselves. It has changed and reshifted my perspective from a negative to a positive one, not unlike the kind of mindset I had in my early 20s. During my college years, nothing was impossible and the sky was the limit.

Now, the sky's the limit once more. I have started to dream big again. I have set goals for the things I want for myself and for my family: financial security; excellent health; great friendships; a home in a good neighborhood with a decent yard for Makayla; freedom to live on our own schedules, with no one "above" us to dictate when and how long we work. Others can achieve it. Why not me?

OMG!!! I've not read that book, but it sounds like we're both working towards the same thing! You sound just like me it's scary, lol.

Due to a break-up (my best friend and I have gone our seperate ways), I've taken to looking and working towards the positive, leaving the negative behind. Figuring the negative is poison and I want more for myself than that.

Good luck to you and I'm going to the library to search out that book!

To "......me":

Thanks so much for your many funny comments. It is a good book and something I've needed to read for awhile now.

It's hard to get past the negative in our lives, especially if we've been wallowing in it for so long that we confuse it for "normal." Good luck to you too and let me know if they have this book at the library (*contemplating ways to return tattered book to bookstore..hmmmmm*)
