10 Life Questions | Ponder These Points
Ranked #3,706 in Culture & Society, #78,787 overall
Life and Your Passions
Aspirations equal ambition, hope, desire, wishes and should be a part of your dream for life. Being comfortable and contentment is not a bad thing. What can be sad though is if through comfort and content we pass up on finding something deeper and more meaningful. We are in this thing called life together! -clouda9
