Today an idealistic mood can prompt you to reexamine your goals to see how you might improve your odds of achieving them. If you feel tempted to put aside those objectives that have the most potential to challenge you so that your chances of realizing some lesser dream will be increased, take a moment to reconsider your options. Your ambitions may only seem unrealistic when viewed in the context of your current circumstances, and there is likely no logical reason to give them up. However, you can hold them close to your heart while pursuing other goals today so that they motivate you to do your best at all times.

Though many legitimate dreams are unrealistic, there is no reason we should not pursue those that touch our hearts and souls. Life is a never-ending journey, and the voyage from destination to destination is only one aspect of existence. We are focused on goals because our limited sense of the chronology of the universe makes us dependent on such markers when we wish to understand how much progress we have made. However, the paths we walk in the pursuit of our larger purpose are valuable in and of themselves, and their worth is not dependent upon the successful attainment of a goal. We should endeavor to always enjoy striving for fulfillment, especially when we suspect that it may be out of our reach. Your ideals will guide you forward today, even if your ultimate aspirations are highly ambitious and challenging to the extreme.
