Did you accomplish the dreams you had in life?

Can’t tell yet, my life isn’t over yet.

So far I have everything I ever wanted, but I have paid some pretty heavy prices along the way

I always wanted to get married. And I did after comitting myself fully, making a lot of sacrifices and with the help of luck. Writing a bestseller, conquering the world whilst flying away on a pig named Pippa and shooting laserbeams out of my hands are next.

That’s what I like about dreams, they can’t always come true and it depends on how realistic they are to begin with.

After my police career, I wanted to go back into the music business. But, due to four back surgeries, that dream will never come true.

All I can do is dream about it.

Some of them, but not all.

I went through a difficult childhood and I dreamed of having a better life and came to realize I had to create what is. So, I surrounded myself with positive people, forged ahead and never looked back. Believe and you’ll achieve as the saying goes, and also surround yourself with positive upbeat and encouraging people.

Still a work in progress.

yes and now i’m accomplishing dreams i never even knew i had

Successful and happy marriage- check.
See interesting parts of the world- check (but more to come).
See my two sons graduate from university and get rewarding jobs- check.
Translate my career from medical imaging into academia-check.
Finish my PhD- not yet, but progressing well. Give me about 2.5 more years for that one.
Retire to the country- In about 18 years, I think.

All of the above are important to me, and I think the percentage of achievement is not bad. I guess a combination of hard work and good luck has helped.

Pending…

I had dreams when I was younger, but they faded away. I don’t really have dreams now, but I’m content enough with what I do have.

Not yet.

Not yet but I’m only at the halfway point.
