We all dream of things that we would like to have someday, (I dream of my wife getting a career so I can quit my job and start my own business), but it's just a dream. If I decide I want that dream to become reality I have to start working towards it by setting some goals. Nothing stops us from obtaining our dreams except for us.<br /><a href="http://fogdogweightloss.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">-FogDogWeightLoss.Blogspot.com</a>FogDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261774071964785378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560454615555518661.post-47034422052625651392014-10-15T02:17:07.312-05:002014-10-15T02:17:07.312-05:00My dream was always to write a novel.

So chuffed. It was weird, though, how for so many years I wanted to do it yet didn't take any steps towards that important goal. But the thing was, I said I wanted "to write a novel" when in fact what I wanted was "to have written a novel". In the past, without having to slog through the actual hard work. Same with weight loss, I don't want "to lose weight", I want "to have lost weight". Not the process, the end result. But it is going to take hard work too. <br /><br />Your meeting reminded me of one I went to when my first baby was a newborn, for nursing mothers. We were asked to brainstorm some words to show what breastfeeding our baby meant to us. Everyone else was all "love" "beautiful" "natural" etc. Mine were something like "difficult" and "painful". I felt a bit odd and uncomfortable that I was the only one who had those kinds of things to say about this "wonderful" experience we were all supposed to be having. But afterwards a neighbour came up to me and said she was glad I had expressed those feelings, she thought she was the only one and hadn't felt able to tell her true feelings to the group! We are still friends ten years later. Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104693042948517678noreply@blogger.com
