Do We Aim High Enough?

"The great danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high

and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."

~ Michelangelo

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise. ~ Robert Fritz

I wonder how many people have set their goals too low, and yet have reached them. Some say that you can't swing from the branches till you have climbed the tree- that you must first accomplish the small and meager before reaching for excellence. Yet there are many days that I feel like a compromise- that my life is not the dream I had imagined. Now only a few leaves linger, a few blinking images of what once was my dream haunt me.

I hope I can uncover my dream and release myself from the one that is leading me towards continual compromise. In a movie I recently watched, it is uncovering the -ness in each of us. The innate person in each of us that knows our primary dreams, desires, and futures. However, I must admit, my amber-ness feels lost. What did I give her up for, or where did I loose her? I don't know, but I intend to find, embrace and celebrate her!
