This is a very difficult question to answer but I hope the following makes sense
I have had a life fool of rich experiences, mostly good but some that hurt in my heart
Life is a journey, not a destination and although you only get one life you can have many many journeys
Setting targets is a good way to get many journeys but so is responding to chance opportunities by seeing them wisely and making the most of them
Not allowing yourself to be stuck, in a job or a relationship you don't want to be is good too
It's about balance and about understanding the cost of your targets and choices and about taking some chance
One of my early targets was to travel the world, learn to be an engineer and to find true love abroad
I did not forsee that in travelling abroad all my friends would grow without me, and that I would have to leave my true love one day
Another target back home was to be the senior manager of a very large business which I achieved but I did not realise that I had become the property of my employer and I was trapped because I had big house and porsche to pay for so I lost my freedom
I am now on a happy journey learning how to help people
But lifes journey is not as short as you think and time is something you can slow down by having a hopeful outlook in life
I know an old lady of 82 who has just finished a university degree and who now lectures, and she winks at me often, in a wicked way
Keep your spirit true and strong and you will live forever
