New Years is close

As kids, I think we always imagine and believe that we will have this perfect life. I’m going to be a movie star, a rock star, an astronaut, a firefighter, an athlete, a jedi. I’m going to marry the most beautiful girl, have a big house, great kids, and a perfect job. As we grow up we slowly figure out that life isn’t going to be perfect; it isn’t going to be everything we imagined. It turns out that I don't have what it takes to make it as a professional athlete or a rockstar. I probably wont make enough money to live in a big house, and I probably wont marry the girl of my dreams. Maybe life isn’t supposed to be perfect. Maybe it’s just a big challenge and the best we can do is get through it. Maybe what we’re supposed to do is find the people and do the things that help us best get through it. So I guess my goal for new years isn’t to start working out more, or to fall in love, or to get straight A’s, but rather, my goal is just to get by; to find people and do things that make all the challenges bearable and most of all to be happy with what and who I have in my life.
