Don't Delay Your Dreams: A Journey of Ambition at Any Age
Written on
Chapter 1: The Financial Struggles We Face
This morning, I found myself in a disagreement with my wife, primarily revolving around finances. While this post isn’t about interpersonal conflicts, it does highlight an aspect of ambition. Before delving into that, let me briefly recount this unfortunate incident.
It’s a disheartening truth that even the most loving couples can find themselves saying hurtful things when financial issues arise. Life has a tendency to throw unexpected challenges our way, and financial troubles can often be the most frustrating and persistent of these challenges. It becomes even more complex when you’re juggling:
- Two loans
- Two children
- A few cherished pets
Yet, as with many hardships, there is often a silver lining to be found, which is what this post ultimately aims to discuss. It’s about ambition, not discord. My wife and I share a strong bond, and while money may not buy love, it certainly shouldn’t be the reason for its destruction.
In times when a little extra cash would come in handy, it can be difficult to focus on endeavors that don’t yield immediate financial rewards. After all, bills need to be settled, and mouths need to be fed—not to mention caring for those beloved pets!
So, whether you’re in your twenties or simply navigating life on your own, don’t hesitate or procrastinate. Pursue your dreams and strive towards your objectives. Take action and follow through.
If you find yourself over 50, or even in your forties, have faith in yourself and your journey, assured that everything will work out in the end. Formulate a plan and take steps to execute it. Here’s a guide I personally follow:
How to Set Goals and Actually Achieve Them
It’s really not that hard.
In the meantime, I’ll be making amends with my wife, embracing my kids, taking my dog for a walk, and treating the scratches my cats have given me. Life truly is good.
