I know I do, and in case you don't understand the title what I mean is do you want to do something that you know is next to impossible (become a billionaire, transforming into a bear, whatever) I heard its good for you because it encourages you too work harder but it also makes me feel like I will never be good enough.

I don't believe my ambitions to be far fetched.
In life, I have four main goals:
- Save up money for college (and graduate college)
- Become an RN
- Marry my current boyfriend
and - Have a baby with my boyfriend, when we're married and financially ready.
They all involve me getting arrested if I ever get caught though, hence why I cannot do them.
You don't wanna know, just trust me.
But I would like to become a Werewolf~
Ahhh~ Oh how one can dream.

Yeah you are probably right I don't wanna know haha but if you really would like to share, please do.
One involves a Cadaver. Another involves a huge ass knife. And the last involves technical animal cruelty.
I count them as far-fetched because I could never do it, so I'll stick to it in my head. lol

STOP. ARE YOU READING THE ABOVE POST?
If not, do it. I'm beginning to get the impression that 50% of TF is populated by literate parrots/sentient mirrors.
I get what you mean. Sometimes you set such high expectations, that you are not ever going to achieve. It is like a self-fulfilling prophecy, where you are setting yourself up for failure, and then when you don't achieve the things you want to achieve, you are left feeling miserable.
The thing is, there is nothing wrong with having dreams. Dreams are what keep us going, or at least so I believe. And although having dreams such as "being a billionaire" are probably ones which are never going to become reality, there is no reason why some of your dreams cannot come true, there is no reason why to some degree, all your dreams can come true.
For example, you probably won't be a billionaire, but it doesn't mean you cannot get a top job, and earn lots of money.
Try not to be too hard on yourself, and enjoy dreaming.<3
I have great ambitions. I dream of becoming rich with my own hard work, by any legal means necessary. It's a dream, but i won't rest for the rest of my life untill i make it a reality. I want to be rich and feel proud of my own achievement without anywone's help
But that's just be.
I have other great ambitions too.
A lover knows only humility; he has no choice...
He steals into your alley at night; he has no choice...
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair; don't fret, he has no choice...
In his frenzy of love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment; he has no choice...

Really liked your post, and I was just giving examples because my main goal is to get into the Naval Academy but of course its extremely hard and I probably won't and the other is to become a professional fighter and well, that takes alot of chance because what if I do that and I lose all my fights? I won't have anything to fall back on.

I don't think mine are far fetched, if i work hard enough:
- Move to California, this is a must
- A*'s & a's in ALL GCSES
- Become a very succesful lawyer
- be able to give up work at the age of 40
- drive a porsche
- everything me and my family/future children want we can have
- do some on the side acting ( this may seem very far fetched, but i have an agent, so yeah, i get work already)
