My dreams for the future were routed in some expectations that I've learned are not realistic. I had hoped that an area of life would be much more peaceful than it is. I thought some people would be close companions throughout life, but have noticed that's not the case. Rather than this be someone's fault, I believe it is the result of differing experiences, relations, dreams, mindsets, and vision for the future. It's not what I would have chosen, but it is the reality that exists.
So, with that in mind, I have to rework a few of my dreams for the future. If I continue to include some who clearly don't want to be a close part of my life, then I'm setting up a less than positive situation. Instead, I need to focus in more on those who are very close to me--those who want to build a good life with me and my tight-knit family of five and their loved ones.
To rework these dreams will take some reflection. I've given the old dreams some considerable energy, so I know it's right to change course a bit. When we try to much to make an unrealistic situation a reality, it's time to make some changes. That's healthier and more positive for everyone. Onward.
