You may have formed such an image, and you also may have cast yourself as the star of the production. The only minor challenge, then, is how we get from where we are to where we want to be. No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
Life is a lifelong journey.
You'll never get out of it alive. You're fine just as you are. You're not finished with yourself, and never will be. Humans have desires, dreams, and goals beyond their current reality, no matter how magnificent that reality might be. It's part of the human condition.
