Living Your Dream

If you've been around military folks enough, you will learn that the common response to "How you doing? or "What's good?" is "Oh, you know, just living the Dream." If you really know military folks...you know that phrase is dripping with sarcasm. Hell, I used it when I was working depending on the day. Cause whose dream, big dawg?!?

Seriously though, whose dream? That thought came to me earlier today as I start to replay some of the current things going on in my life. I'm living a dream, but was it mine? A lot of times, ideas are placed in our heads by those who love us in an attempt to keep us on the road to success. Unfortunately, that road is lined with what they define success to be for them. Because of this, you end up making decisions that help you fulfill their dreams for you. Only to find yourself looking up, years down the road, trying to figure out what has become of your life and why you are so UNfulfilled. As we step into a new week, assess your life and make sure that everything aligns with who you are and what you want to get out of this. You only get one shot as this version of yourself in this timeline. Don't spend what you have left doing things you don't want to.
