When aspirations turn real...

I am in a bit of a dilemma. I have always set goals outlandishly high and unobtainable... Or so I thought. I do this so that I may always continue to strive for perfection and keep the hunger to create ever present. Now, what happens when unexpectedly an unrealistic goal is not only obtainable, but with a stroke of good luck is achieved. That is the predicament I find myself in. I am happy to add that I don't mind this problem and quite frankly wish it would happen more often.

I guess either I didn't realize the potential of my true self or have greatly underestimated my ability to succeed. Either way this is an awesome spot to be. It is not often that I right about the subject of luck as it is my belief that there is no such thing. Generally luck can be broken down into the idea that it is made up of a consistent drive to succeed, hard work, opportunity, and the ability to realize that opportunity and take full advantage of it. Without any one of those my idea of luck does not exist. So, I believe in essence everyone can create their own luck. This is why although I feel extremely lucky I know also that 90 percent of it is actual my doing.

It's just a thought, but from now on in I am going to set my goals even loftier and more over-the-top... Let's see what happens.

Never stop dreaming.

Through those dreams and hard work is the only way a measure of success can truly be reached.
