Episode 16: Perfectly Imperfect Future Unlimited - a podcast by Don Martinez

The future:  the promise of days to come, the promise of new beginnings and new dreams.  The future is both our greatest gift, and our worst enemy.  As kids and young adults, we see the future as our key to an perfectly unbelievable and unimaginable life.  We imagine the perfect house, the perfect career, the perfect family and impeccable finances.  We dream the perfect life and dedicate ourselves to achieving it.  Then, life happens!  The unexpected happens, and consequently, what we had once seemed as our destiny is redefined.  Our world view changes, along with our future. Our dreams and our ambitions become our purpose.  They are the driving force that move us forward in life.  Our dreams encourage us to become the best version of ourselves.  They help us to grow and to prosper.  Then, they become our enemy.  We set our expectations so high, that we can't help but feel like failures.  We dream the impossible dream, and constantly feel defeated when we can't achieve all that we dream of.  Our dreams become nightmares, a prison of sorts.  We find ourselves in constant conflict with our ideal future battling the future we have set up for ourselves.  This conflict results in us feeling unsuccessful and unchallenged. As all else in life, moderation is key.  We need to temper our dreams with reality.  Always have something to achieve, but that something needs to be realistic, something we can accomplish, something that we can succeed at.   We need to embrace our own perfect future, despite how imperfect it may be.  Explore with me how to unlock limits and to push yourself forward to all of the goals that you want in life. As always, thanks for coming along for the journey and being a part of this community!  Look for Episode 15 on May 15th!
