I've definitely started to realize that some of the stuff on my bucket list is just going to be unattainable. It's not for lack of trying either, but things like traveling to different places in the world just isn't as safe as it used to be. In addition to that, barring some kind of massive windfall, I don't think owning a house on a lake is likely going to happen for me. Again, not for lack of trying. The real world just has other plans it seems. Who knows...
But I wonder - what else you have done in the same time. What if you had done less in other areas and focused on only one or two things - would it make a difference? I think we are often spread too thin these days - which is the curse of too many options in font of us.
Yeah, that could be part of it. It is hard to say. I know there are definitely areas that we could change things that might help towards those other goals. I just imagined somehow all of it would be a bit easier I think. I'm fine that it's not, but it's crazy how much the world has changed from when dreams were conceived to where we are now.
I think we all have. I think it was easier in the past, because we had less to focus on and the goals and paths were pretty clear. Now, people seem to value a lot of things that have no real value, other than personal feelings. That is fine too - but it comes at a cost.
