I used to pride my self on being a very realistic person. I used to have high goals and expectations, yet set everything only in the realm of what I knew would be feasible to accomplish based on my standards. Yes, being realistic can be very positive, it is after-all, very realistic to be realistic. But recently I have come to the conclusion that in actuality being realistic often = being pessimistic. If you think about it, when you limit yourself to what what you think is realistically possible, it means you are setting aside your most desired dreams and goals and getting away with it by using an excuse that it is simply “unrealistic.” I don’t want to be realistic anymore though. I want to dream big and be optimistic that I can have what ever I want and achieve even things that seem impossible. Why the hell can’t I? I shouldn’t limit myself based on what I think is doable or not, and I don’t think I will anymore. I can’t be afraid of failure anymore because it is leading me nowhere. From now on I’m going to be unrealistic, I’m going to dream big and do things I never thought I would, just because I can.
