Did you fulfill your dreams yet?

I think all of us had some dreams that we thought of when we were growing up. Some people wanted to be doctors, actors, teachers etc. What did you want to be when you first had a thought about your future. That idea probably changed as you got older. Many people go to college and still don't have a clue what they wanted to do in their lives. What about you, did you end up doing what you originally planned?

No, I did not fulfill my dreams, I wanted to be an architect and an interior decorator, but I did a completely different thing. At least I was able to decorate our home and to redesign our garden.

when I was a kid I really wanted to be a teacher, but my parents didn't want that for me. I ended up following what they wish as I believe I'm a very obedient daughter. But when I was done fulfilling their dreams, I pursued mine. Yes, I taught and I still do until now but at the same time, I'm also a CEO of my own company.

@ramapo17 thank you. I wanted to please my parents first and then myself.

@toniganzon That is great. Some parents always think they know best what is for their child and I do not believe that to be true.

@jstory07 Raising 6 children was a job all by itself. Good for you.

My dream was to work hard and retire early - and we did that. We quite working at ages 53/57 - moved south and never took a loan nor do we owe anyone a penny. That was my dream....to live comfortably young enough t enjoy it thoroughly.

Not even remotely close which I suspect happens to many.

Unfortunately we all do not get what we planned on or what we wanted but sometimes what we get is enough.

Although I've had a happy life I don't know that I really fulfilled any dreams. I can't even remember what they were.

@JudyEv that happens when we get older. We are so busy doing this and that and we forget what we wanted to do.

I can't remember thinking when I was young, when I grow up I want to be a.... I just wanted a quiet happy life because my childhood was such turmoil most of the time. So if that is considered a dream than I have reached it by the grace of God. Have a blessed day
