"I'm going to live here one day," I say to Grace as I pose for these pictures - Quite literally posing. We're standing in front of some lovely dainty houses in Chelsea. Chelsea, one of the most expensive places in London. Do you understand how unrealistic that is? That's why I made a point of saying it. Made a goal of it, even if I change my mind in a week, a month, or a year, that's my goal for now.

I think it's good to have goals, no matter how big or small they are. How realistic or unrealistic they seem, it's good to have them. In my opinion setting goals for myself motivates me, encourages me to work hard, and puts me in a positive place. Sometimes if I don't feel good about what I'm doing or where I am, I look forward to thinking where I will be in the future, and it puts me in a much happier place - I get pumped to work towards it.

There is this argument you shouldn't set goals for yourself if they are unrealistic because you'll be let down if you don't get there. But I argue against this by saying of course you're not going to get there if we don't even try, so what's the harm in going for it. There is this quote by Walt Disney that says 'If you can dream it you can do it.' And that stands out a lot to me, because if Walt Disney just said "My dream is unrealistic, nah, I'm not going to get there, there's no point wasting my time trying" There would be no Disney. If J.K Rowling gave up after her many rejections from publishers, there would be no flippin' Harry Potter-

See what I mean?

In my opinion I would much rather be happier trying to work towards my goal, that sitting around and being unhappy due to the fact that I don't think I can do it. And if I don't succeed, well I'll get to that bridge when I come to it. Maybe my mind will change, maybe I will stretch my goal a few years, and maybe, just maybe I'm more close to that goal than I realise; and if you're still stuck in that horrible un motivating head space.. use this as a little motivation, Morgan Freeman was 57 years old when he got his big break in Shawshank Redemption, and he's one of the most incredible actors of all time.
