I sent in my manuscript about my cat, Samantha. I hope to get the book published so I can tell the story of the very special cat who saved my life and enhanced it.

Wow, I can't top that. Mine's just a post-apocalyptic/quasi-medieval romance with religious elements.

Oh, mine is post-apocaliptical too, and with religious elements too! But starts before the begining of the world, ends after the end! 8O

It would depend on what your dreams and aspirations are. Some are easy to achieve because they're safe bets or because they allow one to pursue their loves/obsessions/etc. Others are harder and take longer, if ever, due to many factors. The key is to make your dreams/goals/aspirations POSSIBLE ones. Let's face it--- I'll never be an astronaut. I can live with that. I won't bother to try and achieve THAT since it is an unrealistic goal ( though not necessarily impossible).
My aspiration/dream/goal was to have an Oldsmobile and I did it--- for me that was a given but it took awhile to achieve it. I feel good about it and that I set out to do something and did it. If I had wanted to achieve something else, like speaking to an auditorium full of people or heading a group/team of people--- I might never be able to achieve that. But I set a realistic goal, which centered around something I love alot, and I did that. And so my dream came true.
I've had other things that I've wanted to do, but I gave up because they were just too hard for me to do. I had to realize that these dreams/goals were not realistic for me ( though they might be for someone else).

My dream aspirition is to actually get my sh*t together..have a manageable clean house instead of a trash heap..have a functional/respectable music project...intead of a joke of one...
um....I used to really obsess over this self-published magazine I was trying to put together...but I seldom think about it anymore....a decent functional managable sock monkey business instead of a stressful mightmare....I guess my dreams and aspiritions revolve around being able to function and pull my weight in life...unfortunately I have such a low stress threshold that menial tasks take a whole lot out of me...and i would like to manage this in a more productive way.

to sum it up my biggest dream/aspirition is to become a robot.

I've always been kind of competitive when it comes to things that I am good at, but I have found myself lacking ambition lately. Stress seems to be a huge factor in my life at the time so motivation has been hard to maintain. Although I have been trying I keep messing up...I'd rather just stick with routine and repetition :)
