Dreams Don’t Work Unless You Do

Why float when you want to learn to surf?

Until today the only thing I was sure about was my uncertainty. I had decided I wasn’t going to make any decisions. Living in L.A. doesn’t feel right anymore but European Visas are such a monster to take on. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, what if I just accepted to stay here? I decided to float, neither here nor there until I felt a tug.

Well, I guess today I felt that tug.

I realized if I want to make my way towards my goals, I can’t keep living in this limbo. And indecisiveness is, ultimately, limbo.

Why float when I want to learn to surf?

I don’t have a clear picture but I’ve got a blurry image to work from. That should be enough for now.

Now, I just need to cool it. There’s no rush. Goals take time. I need o find things that energize me no matter where I am so the pull in any direction doesn’t feel so terrifying.

I would love to know: Have you ever felt paralyzed with ambition before? A dream so daunting and out of the ordinary, you couldn’t even muster the courage to talk to your closest friends about it? So instead, you wandered aimlessly towards whatever else other people were pointing to pretending your dream wasn’t there?
