Call me Lighthouse Girl

For years I've had a dream. A dream I am quite sure will never be reality. The kind of dream that is more enjoyable as just a dream. My dream is to buy a lighthouse on the ocean. In a place where it storms everyday. A place where the stars shine so brilliantly, that I would be content living up in that tower forever. I've realized that it isn't our day to day lives that stop us from living our dreams. It's the other way around as well. Not that I regret my daydreaming about stargazing in my lighthouse with my prince charming after a thunderstorm. I don't regret anything, but I do think it's important for me to remember that my day to day life...can be the ultimate dream. Because we can choose almost everything about our lives. I can choose to think that if I can just buy my lighthouse, I'll be living the dream. Or I can choose to think that my extraordinary life will include marvelous adventures, perhaps including a tower by the sea. The difference is huge. But first you have to be extraordinary. I don't think extraordinary events just happen to people. You climb mount Everest once you get yourself there. We can't change what other people do to affect our lives. We can't always choose our situation, but we can always, ALWAYS choose to live an extraordinary life, and that's a choice I hope to make every single day.
