Thoreau wrote, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Does your future consist of Wednesday following Tuesday? Have a dream. Have several, but have something. You don't have to aspire to buying out Bill Gates or making the NBA. Perhaps you would like your own business or some further education. It really doesn't matter and it can certainly change.

Try this. How do you see your life one year from now? What about five years? Close your eyes and paint a picture. Don't put limits on yourself. Now there is some fascinating conversation. When you are done telling her about yours, ask her about hers.
