We all have 'Dreams' and we all confess the ones that have failed.

Our hopes and our dreams of what could have been, are not always turning out the way we assumed. My question here is ...what is it that distracts your life? What is standing in your way of becoming who you want to be? Of what goals have you set for yourself so long ago you forgot?
I focus on living in the present. If I need to look back for reference, as in to see what I have learned from whatever happened, that's different, but other than that, I try to never let yesterday steal joy from today. I set goals for myself and I make a conscious effort to be thankful for every day and what I have, and especially for my health. At my age, it's not perfect, but I'm very grateful for what I do have and that I am not on crutches or in a wheelchair. Doing nothing but sitting and thinking about one's self or problems, never settles anything nor serves any purpose. So that is why I try not to let anything distract me from a purposeful life. The best thing a person can do, is not beat themselves up for past mistakes. There's always tomorrow and a new beginning. I just try to do my best each day.

hi Carla1951
On course just fine thanks. I have a life long fascination with existence. It remains fascinating.
Best wishes

The goal I set for myself was to work until I am about 90 years old.

lack of confidence was my "distraction"
