I am a dreamer. With BIG dreams though.
I dream of making big money, staying in a huge house with a sea view, traveling in style around the world and soaking up luxury.
I am sick and tired of my job. I dislike working for others. I work day and night, sometimes skip my meals, all in the name of work. And what do I get? Just enough to pay my bills, put food on the table and have a roof over my head. This is no fun. No wonder I don't see the twinkle in my eyes anymore.
I want to do whatever I feel like doing, and at any time. This happens. In my dreams. On a lazy afternoon, I just want to sit by the side cafe and have my cup of coffee. A piece of freshly baked cake from the oven will be perfect. Then I can let my mind drift while others slog at work.
Maybe, I should start buying lottery tickets as I would stand a chance to win a million dollars. Then I can fire my boss and probably do some good deeds with the money. Wow. Isn't this cool? Then again, the probability of striking a winning number is almost negligible. I better think of something else.
What can I do? I only know numbers. I study Accountancy and work all my life in this industry. I am an expert in this field. But, sad to say, I don't like it anymore. No fun really. How nice if I can do things that will make a positive impact on others? But, how to? When age is catching up and I have a family to support, bills to pay and many other commitments. I simply cannot afford to take the risk.
Guess I have no choice. I often hear of mid-life crisis and how it turns out to be a blessing in disguise for many. So, when is my mid-life crisis arriving? Will some higher power make it happen for me or do I have to make it happen?
Let me dream... the answer may be there.
