The Greater Star
For me, it's Throwback Tuesday today. Well, it really isn't supposed to be, but I finished work early. Now, here I am telling you what the quote in the wall beside me says, "When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either."
At one point in my college life, I thought that I've already imagined the most that I could do with it. I was wrong. I realize that I've set goals during phases of my life (e.g. elementary, high school, college), and I've always worked toward them. Years back, I guess for me, those goals were already the stars. But then may be what I haven't painted in my picture right now is that I've grown out of my stars. What I was capable of before is still what I'm capable of now, except I find it very basic already. I'm just saying that yes, I can now say that I can do so much more.

I never really set my goals because it was safe of me to achieve them. I take calculated risks, which most of the time I already know I miscalculate, but then go for it anyway. Now maybe I was focusing too much on the great stars that are visible that I didn't realize there were greater stars in hiding. This is where I plan to transition my goals. Should I need to be a pilot or an astronaut (figuratively, of course) to reach my greater, but hidden star, so shall I. Why? Because I've grown out of tossing paper planes to reach great stars that everyone surely aspires.
