There is nothing wring with having aspirations.
But also appreciate what you have.

Cobbled Path
We rarely know for certain where the path ahead will take us.
There may be bumps along the way but these harden us to the journey ahead.
Adventures lie in front of us, and the mystery is all part of that road.
Traditions
Respect the old traditions.
They got us to where we are and can teach us where to go from here.
You are who you are because of those that went before, and will be the reason those that follow will be how they will be.
Ruin
Look after yourself.
Being there for other people is important, particularly in challenging times.
But you cannot help them if you are struggling yourself.
Dereliction
You have a duty to look after yourself.
Be brave enough to put yourself before others.
If you are not operating on top form, how can you help loved ones to do the same?
Billy Warren
She’d pressured him into it, but he was helpless and he knew it.
The way she moved. The way she smiled at him. The way she brushed against him when nobody was around. The way her breath had tickled his neck as she had leaned in to whisper in his ear…
Focus. He had to focus.
He had to complete the task she had set him, otherwise she would be upset and he wouldn’t get his reward. She’d been dangling that carrot for weeks now. The present she had promised was the one thing Billy Warren had been wanting, been longing for.
He straightened his tie, licked his lips and knocked on the door.

Mr Green
Mr Green had worked hard all his life, patiently listening to others and following their orders to the letter, often against his beliefs.
But if his employers had known what he truly believed, what his heart told him, they would have let him go in an instant.
His conscience told him that he was doing what he had to, and, despite the uncomfortable marriage between the two lives he led – his work and private ones – he kept himself to himself, his head down and his employers happy.
The sadness in his eyes sometimes leaked through, though, and his colleagues occasionally noticed But when they mentioned anything he smiled his smile and brushed aside their concerns.
He was happy, and as long as he could keep convincing himself of that, then his life would be peaceful.
