OK, Jack … back at ‘ya…

do you ever let your imagine go bigger? You’ve said ‘no’ to the great car, and ‘no’ to buying a house, presumably because you believe those are impossible for you to attain (and the car may not be a fit anyways… or is that sour grapes?). You’ve said ‘yes’ to a computer and to a funded retirement.

But do you ever give yourself permission to be a bit more extravagent in your hopes? If not, do you have a sense of what’s stopping you in that regard?

And I wonder which comes first: hoping great things? or experiencing great things, and discovering sometimes hopes can come true?
