We all have dreams. They seem so noble and true, but some are so allusive. Just as we are about to reach them they slip through our fingers and get away from us. I have had many dreams in my life, some I have reached and others I have not, but Self-Determination helps me to focus in on my dreams, and stay focused on my choices. It frees me from histories and experiences and lets me zoom in on what I want to achieve in my life. I want my future to be meaningful, inspiring, and purposeful, and I want my dreams to be expressions of that. Over the last three years, it has taken me a long way on that journey. I feel happier and more accomplished than any other time of my life, and I am very grateful for it. Our future is open to us, ours for our making. Let’s take advantage of Self-Determination and make our future all it can be.
