High Expectations

People in general, say 'you can’t have everything in life' They say if a girl is pretty she must be dumb. If someone has a lot of money probably they have all this because this someone was just lucky. Or a nice person would probably have said, all this because he/she scarified his/her life just to be rich so for sure he/she is unhappy in life. You know what that say 'money does not buy happiness'. And my favorite one for sure this person is a bad person.  People don't believe you can have it all. You always have to choose and sacrifice one thing to have the other.  

For example, one needs to choose a private life or to have a great career, or maybe never eat a favorite ice cream again to have a nice figure.

There is no way you can have these things at same time. 

Those people usually are the people who obviously don't have it all, so this got me thinking if this is really true? 

Of course the idea of having “everything” is very individual.

I started to think about people who 'do have it all' or at least they seem to, like Angelina Jolie or Bill Gates. Of course we don’t know for sure if they are happy but, let's be honest, they don't look unhappy either. 

Perhaps saying that you can't have everything in life is just an excuse.  Excuses for people who are not happy in life, because they are too lazy to change something.

Of course there are things which we can’t change like some serious health problem, or the way we look. Well it is not entirely true with look considering the option we have now (plastic surgery) but  for the sake of the argument lets say we can’t change this.  Although, I think all the rest, we can make it happen. In fact, I want everything.

I want it all! I want to have a great career, and this amazing house I've always dreamed about. I want to have time to help animals and travel around the world, and of course I want to have a great relationship. Relationship with this perfect man, at least, perfect for me, who will be there for me to catch me when I fall. I am sure, I could think about some more stuff that I want but,

is it possible that I expect too much from life?

For a minute, I thought maybe I should lower my standards?

After some time of thinking I decided I cannot lower my standards. First of all, we have only one life to live. So I said to myself that I will do whatever it takes to have everything I want from life. Because I am not quite ready to accept the fact that I can’t have it all.

At the end of the day, whatever will happens in my life, I will not regret any day.  I will either make it happen or I will die trying
