I’m still young, and I am taking the big steps for my major goals in life… I was wondering if dreams always do come true if they are pursued well. Did you have a strong dream that you had to accomplish or you wouldn’t be complete? What was it and did you do it?

So far I have everything I ever wanted, but I have paid some pretty heavy prices along the way

I always wanted to get married. And I did after comitting myself fully, making a lot of sacrifices and with the help of luck. Writing a bestseller, conquering the world whilst flying away on a pig named Pippa and shooting laserbeams out of my hands are next.

That’s what I like about dreams, they can’t always come true and it depends on how realistic they are to begin with.

After my police career, I wanted to go back into the music business. But, due to four back surgeries, that dream will never come true.

All I can do is dream about it.

I went through a difficult childhood and I dreamed of having a better life and came to realize I had to create what is. So, I surrounded myself with positive people, forged ahead and never looked back. Believe and you’ll achieve as the saying goes, and also surround yourself with positive upbeat and encouraging people.

Successful and happy marriage- check.
See interesting parts of the world- check (but more to come).
See my two sons graduate from university and get rewarding jobs- check.
Translate my career from medical imaging into academia-check.
Finish my PhD- not yet, but progressing well. Give me about 2.5 more years for that one.
Retire to the country- In about 18 years, I think.

All of the above are important to me, and I think the percentage of achievement is not bad. I guess a combination of hard work and good luck has helped.
