For some years I have planned to teach in the university. I want to do research and contribute academically. However, my cognitive is significantly impaired nowadays, I’m afraid reading a cover story in the newspaper is already too demanding for me. Thinking about more than one thing is too confusing.
I’m afraid I have to give up my dreams. But living without a dream is so substandard to me. I don’t want to live my life any more. Any ideas.
One of the courses I did focussed on reducing the dream ie instead of becoming a qualified chef a compromise of a cook. A therapist to therapist assistant etc. At the moment I’m trying to focus on what’s going to make me happy rather then focusing on what other peoples idea of success is. A totally new approach for me and fumbling a great deal with it.
One book I did read was Wishcraft in the dream job department and worth a read. One of my tdocs was the one who told me it was on the net and a free download. It’s separated into thirteen downloads one for each chapter in pdf form. Might also be time for me to read it again. Hope it helps. http://wishcraft.com/
@Dreamscape thank you for that book idea. I’ll be looking into it.
Maybe I don’t dream big enough… but I really do like the job I’m in. It sort of happened to me… I didn’t wake up and decide to become a gardner/ grounds keeper. The path meandered around a bit and I landed here…
But I’m here… and I love it… and I’m working to expand my knowledge on this so I can get further sideways on the ladder.
I guess my next big dream is working towards living in a house, not a big house… just something with a few more roots.
I do want kids… I really do want to be a father in this life.
