Gambling on a Dream

walk away from this dream. I need to run, as far and fast as my imagination can carry me, because this dream is killing me. This dream is telling me that because I’m turning 40 but have few of the signposts of success in American society, I am less than worthless and should be ashamed. More telling is that even when I have pursued this dream to the best of my abilities, it has strangled my spirit and my body and made my days feel meaningless. I was more miserable when I was biting at the heels of success than when I was floundering in my lack of it.

All these years later, I have finally figured out how to use those words that etched themselves into my brain. Who knew that all I have needed for all these years was the right question. Perhaps if you are struggling with similar issues, you will find the answer if you change the question from “Should I hold on to my dream or should I fold?” to “Which dream(s) should I hold on to and which dream(s) should I let go?”
