Maybe the problem isn’t that we’ve lost our dreams. It’s that we’ve spent so long being practical, responsible, and pleasing others that we’ve forgotten how to recognize our own desires. Perhaps the real work isn’t dreaming bigger, but questioning who taught us to dream smaller.
I’m in the midst of the same kind of process myself, at 65. Not so much that I was living someone else’s dreams, as that I had/have some limiting beliefs about whether I deserve to want what I want, an inner voice that says, “who do you think you are?” in withering tones.
I wish I had asked these questions earlier, I'd always felt, understood, been told: "NO MONEY!!!" and I am just learning to question all these assumptions.

Thank you. I needed that.
A nice little kick in the pants and tangible wake up call🙏👏👏
Truer Words Have Never Been Said.
THANK YOU!
