Design　Your　Own　Life

One　of　the　so…called　realities　of　growing　up　is　the　resignation1　and　acceptance　of　what　is　or　is　not　possible　in　our　lives。　Consider　how　many　times　you　have　been　told　or　have　said　to　yourself　“Now　be　realistic。。。”　OUCH！！！　Realistic　based　upon　what？　The　expectations　of　society？　The　fears　of　our　parents　who　wanted　to　“save”　us　the　pain　of　unmet2　expectations　and　failure？　The　capacity　and　capability　of　our　friends　and　siblings？　Now　being　realistic3　can　be　a　way　of　managing　your　expectations　and　making　sure　you　are　safe；　however　it　can　also　be　a　great　excuse　not　to　risk　and　a　marvelous4　story　of　why　you　should　not　even　try　in　the　first　place。
