i just met somebody who has the exact life that i want to have and something in me just clicked.
my dream isn't insane or "out-there". it's not even that extraordinary, actually. I'm not special for dreaming and having goals and imagining how great I'll feel when I accomplish them and then doing nothing for three days. you aren't either.
you shouldn't put your dreams on a pedestal and make it seem like this "great, crazy, basically impossible" thing. cause in the end, that's what will make you never achieve your goal.
yeah, your dream is cool. your dream is sort of incredible and it would be great to achieve it. but it's not extraordinary.
in fact, it's ordinary. it's possible. hell, it's even likely if you do the right things and make the right choices.
a dream is a blueprint. and you can stare at it all you want and say to yourself "I'm so amazing for having created this blueprint" or "well, good job creating the blueprint!" and not actually do anything with it. a blueprint is only useful to write down your thoughts and seeing what you need to build the machine.
a dream is the blueprint to building your dream.
but you do actually need to get up and build the fucking machine. to drop the metaphor, what I'm talking about is that you need to realize that your dream isn't actually worth anything... if you don't act on it.
and that's what i meant with "your dreams are ordinary". they need to become daily life. your dream is possible, hell, inevitable, because doing the things you need to do to achieve your dream aren't insane. they are just actions you take in your daily life. that doesn’t take the magic away - it just makes it real.
your dream is now. acting on your dream is now. building yourself, growing, doing, putting in the goddamn work - thats all there is.
there is nothing wrong with dreaming. fuck, you should dream. you can't effectively build the machine without the blueprint. but you need to decide...
do you want to be a person who only dreams?
