Future Quotation

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.
 
I try to not think of the future, as it can too quickly swing from happy dreams and desires to scary nightmares of 'what ifs'.
I have many plans and dreams for the future that will keep me happy in life, but I try to not let them dwell within my thoughts for long as the world of harsh statistics and logic follow them rapidly like a fox chasing a rabbit.

I used to dream of becoming a vet and helping animals, before it was being an author to fiction/fantasy stories. Now, I dream of working with young children, preferably as a teacher, but then logic of universities come into play.
Some are close by, I don't have to leave home for school, which is what I want, but then I remember that close-by or not a university is hard to get into.
Teachers and parents say that kids like me have a great shot at getting into any university, college, or workplace we want which relieves me, until I look at my "They're Okay" grades. Why would I get accepted?
With roadblocks and many more, along with many longer or shorter roads, all I can remember from my deep thinking is that no matter what goal I shoot for, I will have a big obstacle in my way that I might not overcome.

So, to not become depressed about the unpredictable future, I prefer to not think of it. I set a goal, and accept whatever is thrown my way. I'll eventually walk down the path that will keep me happy.
