I’m going to take a wild guess and say that when you were younger you probably imagined living the glitz and glamour lifestyle of stars, or the fame enjoyed by sports celebrities. We all had grand dreams when we were little. As time passes, we grow and mature, and discover different sides of ourselves.

In high school I wanted to be an archeologist, then a tour guide (so that I could travel all over the world for free) and at one time an editor for a fashion magazine.

Fast forward to ten years or so, here I am: publishing my own words with the hope it would inspire others, sometimes opening doors for people to let them see the brighter side of life, and more often learning from people who ride the same wave with me.

The writer and blogger than I am now is nowhere close to my many dreams. Yet, there’s great satisfaction in what I do and I am hopeful for greater things ahead. No regrets, just lessons on acceptance.

Do you like where you are, who you’ve become and what you have? Or are you still pursuing your childhood dreams?

It’s a great question, isn’t it? Most of us occasionally dream about making or, better yet, winning a few million dollars. But real life shows us that people who won or suddenly inherited huge amounts of money had no idea what to do with it, and most of them ended up losing it all in just 3-4 years!

I am sure that you would be smarter than that…
