shooting for the moon

I want to write a book...

Ambition has never been an issue for me. I possess the mentality that if you don't dream big, you're selling yourself short. "Shoot for the moon; If you miss, you'll land among stars." I'm an ambitious girl, through and through.

The part I have a problem with is the follow-through. I have these big dreams about what I could be when I grow up, or about writing a book, or about sewing tons of stuff, or about moving somewhere adventurous, but I'm not so good at always making these kinds of things happen.

I'm going to try harder this time, at least when it comes to the book. I have some ideas, so now I just need to sit down and stay focused. Sounds simple, but it's not. Maybe I'll search out some motivational quotes to stick around my desk area to help me actually complete my task.

Do you have a particular motivational quote that gets you going?

An update about my quest of finding the right career for me: I'm also considering being an editor. I think it would be really exciting to work at a publishing company and search out new talent. I love to read, I love to write, and I'm a pretty good editor in my opinion. So why not give being an editor some thought, right? And a good thing about that is I'm already majoring in Journalism and Mass Communication, so with a few extra classes, I could be confident about this as a possible career choice.

I think I should start making a list of all the occupations I've considered having. I think it'd be pretty amusing. Anyway, time to take the kitty to the vet. I wish you all a very delightful day, and hopefully the weather is less gloomy wherever you are!
