Is it always good to get what ever you ask for? Is it always good to have a particular goal or dream realized? I dont think the answer is yes or simple. Life offers us such opportunities and yet, sometimes we are closed to them because we are set so tightly on one vision or one goal. It is so critical to open ourselves up to all possibilities, to all that there is out there. Yes, we need dreams and hopes. The world is built around hopes of miracles, of dreams coming true, of finding the impossible cure. And yet, sometimes the best comes where we least expect it. If we are open.
So here is to the saying – if you get what you want, it is good. If you dont, it is better.
Read about my personal experience with this saying in this month's Washingtonian magazine.. last page, April 2010 issue. Now on newsstands.
THen, write and tell me what you think. I would love to hear from you.
(Please note a correction – the year in the article should be 1991 not 1990)
Congrats, Monica!
Pity, I don’t get that magazine here but your words about dreams are so true. Lovely picture of you and your kids.
Monica I read your story in “Washingtonian” and enjoyed it so much I mentioned it on my own blog. You are definitely an “Adventurous woman”!
