…what you really, really want.
That should be so simple, right? Right? Come on, clock is ticking…tick, tock…
It isn’t, you see. One wish to get what you yearn for. Only one! So many things, so many quick, superficial answers.
Let us make it loaded. You can have your wish, but you have to be willing to sacrifice five years of your life span for it. Now, it has some value, a price to be paid always raises the worth of something.
Now, tell me, what do you want? What does your heart call for? Money, fame, love, health? A better job, bigger house, popularity?
Or are you altruistic, well, then, world peace is the standard answer for that. (Caveat on that one, no guarantee of maintenance. You break it, you keep it).
Now, is that dream something recent, changing as you grow and mature? Or is it the thing that pulls your heart strings? What do you dream of, in your deepest heart, in the depths of night, when you cannot sleep?
Now.
Review it, are you finding it unachievable (no flying to the moon on gossamer wings, people, I canna change the laws of physics)? If impossible, start a new dream Unlikely is fine, that we can work with. The impossible is hard, miracles, well, they take longer. Let us go with unlikely, no matter how unlikely, how constrained your circumstances are, let us go with it.
Now.
What are you going to do about it? If it is worth you gambling five years of your life for, then your life is to precious to waste not at least TRYING. Whether you succeed or not, the failure is not trying.
Try.
