There are to many times when i say "i've always wanted to..." or "i wish i had..."
I'm going to live by the motto "make it happen". With positive thinking and hard work you can achieve those things you never thought you would actually accomplish!
You know Lianne you bring up a great point! Although it's great to have support, you don't always get it-- especially from people who prefer to complain/be negative. Sometimes if you want something done, you're just going to have to do it yourself. It's hard but it does teach you the discipline to be able to achieve things more independently.
I started following this thinking at the start of this year. By setting goal for myself and seeing them through i've gained a sense of independence i never thought i'd have. For example, I had the opportunity to travel this year and when no one could join me and went myself!
