Examine how much energy you're putting toward the idealistic, the fanciful, and the downright playful. You need to deal with your career, family, and other serious stuff, but you also need to make room in your life for goofing off. Dreaming about change doesn't always bring it, but it does at least offer you hope and provide creative inspiration. It's not a waste of time to imagine what life would be like if things were different. It's a good way to keep your mind more flexible.
