I have two friends who are doing something they love. It doesn’t really matter what it is – the details are insignificant. They both have jobs during the day, but at night and on the weekends they collaborate on this project that is going to be amazing. Maybe the actual project will be amazing, maybe not (I think it will). But what is already amazing is that they had an idea for something and then . . . they DID it!
I can safely say that I know more people who talk about doing things and then never do them, and less people who follow through on their big ideas. It is so fun to dream – so fun to have conversations when you’re really inspired and motivated to do something really big. But stuff always gets in the way. For me it is usually, “I don’t have the money to do that.” Or, “I can’t leave the security of my job.” Or even, “My parents/friends/people around me will not think this is the right thing to do.” I don’t want to be a person anymore who doesn’t do what she (I) really, in her (my) heart, wants to do. So, how do I fight the urge to hold on to money, jobs, and the opinions of the people around me, and get out there to do what I really, REALLY want to do?
