IHO by the way, nice impression? today?s poll is a variation on a theme to your <a href="http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/forums/viewthread/5578/">topic</a>...
You know those bad days when nothing is going right? You might be physically tired; the weather might be too hot or cold. Your wife might even by mad at you. The kid is a choir and work just basically sucks. I don?t know about you, but I automatically check out of reality and retreat to my <a href="http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/forums/viewthread/5580/">day dreams</a>.
Dreams are powerful; they can be a form of escape or a strong motivator. A shared vision between spouses can stimulate the difficult savings of that down payment. Couples can usually endure the short-term sacrifices when they having that end goal in mind.
Lately I?ve been finding myself thinking of that perfect borderline realistic-fantasy housing dream. I revisit that vision many, many times in my head, usually right before I fall asleep. Most visionary business leaders will tell you that the more you are able to imagine the details of you goal the more likely it is to come true. The more you are able to touch, smell, taste, see and hear your vision the more likely it is to be real.
It was fun to talk about the specifics of those dreams. But for the purpose of this thread; how set are you on your housing dreams? As PeterUK recently demonstrated, we have little control in life; anything can happen. Our dreams can be taken away at anytime. If your happiness is dependent on your dream; I can imagine how you might be constantly stressed out because there are so many factors that can go wrong and the dream can instantly die.
This was a hard thread for me to write; it?s hard to hold on to my dreams with an open hand. I?m sure most of you think about it constantly. I already know what color to paint my home office, and how we would celebrate our home warming. A part of me doesn?t want to be heart broken, and a part of me is afraid of hoping. But ultimately I know that I have to be open to changes.
