I agree that saying 'i'm never going to be a writer so take that off the list" is actually counter productive - it is working toward such dreams that ultimately drives us forward and makes our lives better. But they should be on a DIFFERENT list - if it sits there day to day, not only will it's nagging presence put you off other tasks, but you will also become less inclinded to follow that dream as it becomes a chore. Glad you have had success in your life Walter! Rich Hi Walter,

But now I understood the waste I have made in my life. We can achieve anything we want as long as we put our bodies on it, I did not thought I can do a task I once held impossible, like being a writer. :-) For many years of my life, I have been collecting many goals that I haven’t achieved.
