Ah. Controlling reality is a bit strong I guess.

Suppose you are working at a mcdonalds on the beach. You gripe about the pay. Your mgr offers you a job inland that pays more, but now you aren't at the beach.

one might think their dream/need is high pay, but find out their dream/need is really to hang out the beach after work (metaphor for anything). That's all...simply think about all dreams while on the road to the one dream, and try not to permanently close doors until you are sure you want to commit. Some dreams/needs one might find they can do without (being an astronaut AND a dj) and some dreams/needs one might find they really need (family, shelter, food etc).

If one has the oppty attend a university, and the mental capacity to do so, I would strongly advise doing so in case the music thing doesn't pan out. BUT...that said, if everyone followed that advice where would we be? *shrug*
