I’ve spent my whole life indecisive. Where do you want to eat? I don’t know. What do you want for your birthday? Name one thing, are you kidding me? Which pair of shoes do you like better? I want both.
When I read, “Allow your dreams a place in your prayers and plans,” a partial excerpt on my quote of the day calendar, I thought, how is that possible? I couldn’t even pick a major in college.
Yes, yes, I know – everyone goes through that. But I’ve never stopped; it began with Advertising/PR, Broadcast Journalism, Fashion Merchandising, then a break. Now what? It started again, and ended with an Accounting degree. Mid-business school, I wanted to go to cosmetology school and momentarily, culinary school. Obviously, my wants were all over the board.
In a perfect world, I’d be able to be a hair stylist (and the owner of my spa/salon), a journalist, a pastry chef, and a CPA – in that order. However, I am less than halfway towards my CPA and the others are so far off in my life plan that I often fear I won’t be able to experience anything else.
My question is, how do you allow your dreams a place when there are just too many? Can you have too many dreams? Which dreams should you put first? Should it be the ones you’re closest to achieving, or should it be the ones that would make you the happiest?
In the meantime I will do what I do, take it one day at a time, and hope that in time I can fulfill my dream(s) -
