What You See First In This Visual Test Reveals Your Secret Dream About Your Future
Have a secret dream of what you want in the future?
We all have goals and aspirations. Sure, these goals change as we grow and learn more about ourselves, and they should.
When I was eight, if you asked me what my dream was I would tell you that I wanted to live above a Chinese restaurant so I could have constant access to affordable, fresh egg rolls. Now that I'm in my mid-30s, the dreams I have for myself are pretty different (though, if I'm honest, I wouldn't turn up my nose at any egg rolls tossed my way).
As we continue to experience life, we get a better understanding of the world around us. Based on that understanding, we come up with new dreams... for the most part. If you ask around, chances are many of your friends have secret dreams that they are too embarrassed to reveal, thinking that they are immature or unrealistic.
You definitely have your own dreams like that too, whether or not you want to admit it. Your deepest dreams are nothing to be embarrassed by; in fact, the more in touch we are with those dreams, the more of a happy and fulfilled life we will lead.
To figure out what your secret dream for the future is, just check out this visual personality test.

You want to see the world, move in elite circles, and live dangerously. Don't be afraid to take a chance and live in the moment. You might not ever stop a fight on top of a train, but you'll get all the thrills you want and more.
