Most of us start out in life with some pretty ambitious ideas of the kind of lives we want to live, the kind of people we want to be, the relationships we\u2019d like to have, the kids we\u2019d like to raise. They\u2019re all good and noble ideas, but when we stack all those things up against our current reality, often those two don\u2019t measure up. It\u2019s not because we are slacking off, but we simply lack the power to pull it off.
