I talk
with a lot of people my age - coworkers, fellow peers, old friends - and it
seems as though our generation is full of big dreamers. Plans of
entrepreneurship, desires of travel and wants for higher paying jobs are topics
that seem prevalent in twenty-something conversation.
When I
was still in high school, I would swear to you that after graduation I would
move back to New York and live in the city (I say back because I lived there
while my father was in the military. I only lived there for 2 years, but for
some reason the state stuck with me). However, after graduating in Kansas City
Missouri, I stayed and am still living in the Midwest. But, the dream of moving
to New York is still with me. So what is it that makes me stay in the Midwest?
I am young and now is the time to do all of the things you want to do. But I
don't. I can make a list of reasons why I don't, but deep in my heart I know
that there is no real excuse for not living your dreams.
So what
is it that stops these dreams from coming true? Is it money? Is it resources?
Is it family ties or relationships? Do
we even live in a world where these dreams are possibilities?
So,
fellow twenty-somethings, I want to know. What is it that you dream of and what
is it that stops you from making these dreams come true?
