I think you can keep moving towards your dreams and still continue into the next chapters that life throws at you. With a child for instance, having a new life to look after could give you the motivation to work harder or the inspiration to achieve more. I don't think there is a formula dictating anybody who has gained 'success'. No government or societal influences either. If you're happy and you have a goal that you are moving towards maybe you might get lucky enough one day for those dreams to come true.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kendrick, I totally agree. I think sometimes I worry that having a child would bring a financial responsibility that would yield me very little time for creativity, but, having said that, I've seen some friends who find the time and energy to make it work. I'm not there yet and thankfully my wife hasn't caught the moming bug so I still have time to moan about trivial differences between different cultures and their way of life!
