Do I Want Too Much?

This is America: the land of dreamers. I am one of those dreamers. I truly believe in the American dream, and I believe I can have everything I want out of life if I just try hard enough. Being this ambitious is not easy by any means. It's constant work and very little satisfaction. I try to talk myself into being happy with the notion of good enough, but I just can't make it stick. I can't stop overachieving.

I want to be a domestic goddess, a devoted wife, an attentive mother, have a career, have another career, maybe have a hobby, and the loftiest goal of all is becoming a published novelist.

Is it possible to have it all? What are some of your seemingly unattainable goals that you can't stop working towards?
