Wanting More

For as far as I can remember, I wanted more.  To be more, to do more, to have more...  I guess this is human nature, but the memory from my younger days still burns.  These days that feeling of want is there, but more under control.  But during high school, college, and almost all my adult life, wanting more almost consumed me.  Sadly, what was even more frustrating was I wanted more, but almost did nothing to get more.  I believe I tried my best at the time, but I lacked the tools, the skills, and the mindset to actually get more.  In the past, I froze myself because there were just so many themes and concepts to talk about.  Now I am just going to freely go back in time and review the steps or missteps from the past to the present, correcting my course along the way.  What is that saying, "Ready, Fire, and Aim"?
