Interesting...I think I would say a combo of what I said to Elisa and Grace. There's nothing wrong with setting expectations and goals for yourself, but don't spend so much time looking to the future that you miss out on the present. Appreciate the success you have now and the goals you've already reached...and try to have some fun too :) Thanks Ryan! Interesting…I think I would say a combo of what I said to Elisa and Grace.

Shrek, like many of us, is too busy wondering what could have been to enjoy what is. This part of why I wanted to write this post, to remind everyone to just look around and appreciate what they have. Thanks for the comment! That's a very good point, Elisa.

Perfection is relative, and different things make different people happy. Even if we follow the same path to success as someone we know, it's not going to be exactly the same because we are all unique. <br><br>You're right that we do have a choice, and just because you're not gallivanting around the world right now doesn't mean you never will. It also doesn't mean that you can't be happy with the life you're living, although I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you that one :) Thanks so much for the comment, I hope all is well in Boulder xo Thanks, Grace!

I was talking to Jenny (Blake) the other day about the fact that being an ambitious person I wonder if I'll ever get that 'content' feeling. I always feel like no matter what stage of life I'm in, there's always something better. Not so much the other side of the pasture, but higher up my own proverbial ladder.

Perfection and your own life is relative...it depends on our paradigm and what works for each person. <br><br>I've seen myself compare my life to my friends who are gallivanting around the world, but then I also remember that we have choice. If I wanted to, I could make it happen to gallivant (I already have, but I probably will again in the future). Currently, I'm creating a life, working, earning money and learning. Some people might look at my life and be envious, while I look out to others'. It's not healthy and really, it's not necessary. <br><br>Love this post :) Good reminder for the beginning of the week xo This is such a good reminder.
