Dreams always last the longest when they are furthest from our reach... but hold on to life, even when it seems to be easier to let go...

For the gift of life is more precious than any other worldly materialistic things as well as non materialistic issues.

We all have images of our ideals, paintings of how we envision our life to be or the life we feel we deserve, but then a lonely frustration sets in when we do not reach that peak and that hope we once experienced becomes ephemeral all over again. That trudging uphill climb to the summit is becoming yet another one of our fantasies.

But where do we go from here?

I just feel that maybe we just need to do an inventory on our life and re-set our priorities. Maybe we were too hard on ourselves before, setting goals that are too far-fetched and resulting in setting to destroy self esteem. Maybe we should revalue our life and think about what's important, taking special note of those that do not come with a price tag. And maybe we should just take that first step towards self reflection, and emerge with better perspectives, and clearer ultimatum. There's always hope.
