Maybe I’m just an optimist lmaooo, but when you really put Lazard’s “unattainable dreams are the best kind” line under a microscope, I think there’s something really darn inspiring beneath the jokes and dramatic irony—something that genuinely still rolls around in my mind from time to time, especially when you consider what exactly makes a “good” dream to begin with. Because while achieving your vocations are untimely the End Goal, one can argue that the experience and blunders we make along the way are just as valuable, that they keep us motivated and soldiering towards it.
You can even argue that a dream too attainable could lead to dissatisfaction, with it not pushing your potential enough or leaving you lost as what to do next. And while the same emptiness could be felt by someone who may have overshot their ambitions, I’d still say there’s value in the journey it took to come to that realization, that it can help you reevaluate your strengths and limitations in order to set a goal that will provide satisfaction. It really all comes down to how you frame success in your mind, and if that definition more closely aligns with reaching a given objective or the experience learned along the way—both of which are completely valid, if you ask me.
Perspective can just be a really powerful thing đź’–
