get over myself (read all 4 entries…)
I have way too many ambitions 10 months ago

I don’t know why I always thought this, but it’s very arrogant when I realize this.

I thought I had to be the best at everything, when really all I need is to do my best. It doesn’t matter if someone is better than me at something, it matters what I can do and what I can do to succeed in maximizing my potential in life.

I dreamed of going to law school at Cornell and studying for my undergrad at UPenn. But the reality is, that might not be the life for me. And really- whose dream is that?

I am becoming successful. I’ve been studying in India for awhile and I’ve almost completed my training…

But I need to remember that my ambitions, aren’t my mother’s. I didn’t go to Harvard. My ambitions are not my father’s- I didn’t go to law school. My ambitions are my own.

And I need to focus instead on things that make me happy.

Sherlock has her own personal fog ...really dark fog lately...

Good insights

from one who has had a chance to look back on things from the perspective of 50+. You have good instincts.
