No idea on the gallery thingy. I never really used it before. But, with that said, it would be cool if we could post pics from guild events, etc. That way people who weren’t there, can look at the pics. Also, if you were there, it’s nice to go back to the pics and remember the good times! I don’t know much (read: don’t know anything) about the bandwidth necessities of something like that though. /shrug

Keep up the great work Grym!

I’ve never read the book that inspired your thinking, so I can’t say for certain if these answers will help. But as simply a reader of the questions, these answers should suffice.

All of us, as human beings, have had at least one tragic event in our life that has forged us into who we are today. For some, it was the death of mother or father, for others it may have been something akin to being told by a teacher that if you don’t pass this class you’ll never be more than a gas station worker. Each of them tragic in their own way, but you get the idea.

“Am I the me that I was when I was younger?” When you were younger you likely had dreams, a vision of what you would become when you get older. Things you would have acheived, things you would own, places you’d go. While you may not think you have those dreams anymore, you do. They lie dormant in your subconcious mind waiting to be re-activated and move you towards those dreams.

Without trying to provide input on some of the other questions, I’ll skip ahead as hopefully you’ll see how they are interlocked.

“What can I do want to change in future-me, and can I even visualize it? Or is it impossible to determine what a future-me would want, because in determining this, would I actually change the future-me?” An excellent question, one that took me a while to understand, and am continuing to learn. You can always visualize where you want to be; be it dreaming or sitting down and writing what you want to achieve. You alone hold the power to change your life. Life can throw obstacles at you, certainly, but you decide how you handle those obstacles. Do you give up and say to yourself, this is my luck? Or do you meet it head on and find the solution? When faced with a problem, do you stare at the problem? Or do you seek the solution? Wherever you look is where you go, so if you look at the problem… that’s what you’re going to end up with. But if you focus on the solutions… you’ll end up with–a solution.

So many quotes and stories that I’ve read over the past year and half come to mind answering these same questions you’ve asked. To avoid incoherent thoughts on a webpage, I’ll leave it with this:
“From the testimonies you’ve heard of others that have succeeded and from your own personal experiences, you have enough information to conclude that it’s possible to design and live an extraordinary life!”.

Hope this helps answer some of the questions as you go about your day!
