What if your Dream is Impossible to Achieve?

Where should the line be drawn between dreaming and being delusional? How long should someone wait before realizing a dream is impossible? How long should someone try to attain a dream before realizing time is being wasted?

Sometimes I have a great sense of unease contemplating these topics. I have dreams, big ideas that I would like to achieve. Are they reasonable? They are indeed rational and possible, but are they likely? I don’t know. They are definitely not going to happen right now. I will have to wait, but waiting is not easy, and it continuously breaks off pieces of your soul.

What is peace of mind? What does it feel like? Is it that feeling when you just wake up in the morning? Is it excitement? I find life strange. I don’t think there is purpose to life; although its obvious that people can assign a fabricated purpose to it. Assigning purpose is a means of justifying desires and ones existence. If a person has no purpose, and there is no reason to exist that definitely leads to depression. Having a purpose is exciting, but achieving your designated purpose is not always instantaneous; and waiting is frustrating.

I guess a lot of how I feel is because of the economic meltdown in the US. I basically graduated college and the US job market evaporated leaving little opportunity to achieve big things. Basically the job market is in survival mode, meaning that if you can bring in 20-30K per year you are lucky. Minimum wage jobs are even hard to find!
