When I decided to go to law school and become an attorney, I promised myself that no matter what, I will always write. And well, as an attorney, I do write a lot. But when I made myself that promise, I didn't mean briefs and motions. I meant I was going to continue to write poems and short stories and one day, a book or two. That was my dream. It still is.
But the practice of law is a full-time job times ten. At the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is write. I just don't have the mental energy for it. Reading a couple of pages from a book is even a struggle. But I still haven't given up.
I do believe we can pursue anything we set our mind to. Perhaps it'll take some of us longer than others. Sometimes, we have to put some dreams on hold while we pursue other dreams. But I do believe that as long as we continue to pursue what it is we want, we will eventually get there. Even if it takes writing one word, one sentence, one page a day ... I tell myself, I will get there.
We should not give up on our dreams.
Keep going.
Even if some days feel like a setback, don't be discouraged.
Take it one step at a time.
Believe that you can do it.
