Do You Have Red Ferrari? The Answer is Yes.


I want a red Ferrari.  It is something I’ve desired since I was a little kid.  They are fast, really nice looking, and let’s be honest, AWESOME.  Taking a brief moment to reflect on my life, I have been fortunate.  In the grand scheme of things, everything is pretty, pretty, prettay good (LD reference). 

Recently I’ve discovered that this red Ferrari might be more than just a car.  It may be a symbolic destination.  For example, since I have established at a very young age that this is something that I want and need to obtain, a large part of my life has been directly or proximately involved in achieving this goal.  Nevertheless, the metaphorical red Ferrari is alive and well in most of our dreams and aspirations.  We set goals for ourselves.  These goals no matter how large or small play an important role in the way we conduct ourselves. 

The bigger the goal, the more we will work to achieve that goal.  The harder the challenge, the bigger the reward, the bigger the reward, the larger the risks we will take.  We will work harder and smarter, constantly learn from the missteps, and never lose focus of the big picture, and definitely focus on the small victories on the way.  Otherwise, once you get that red Ferrari, you may forget that you need to enjoy the ride.
