It's true, I have a million reasons why I should not go after my dream. I could start with, "I don't like the sound of my voice. The moment has passed. I should have started this 3 years ago. Who is going to listen to me and gain anything from my thoughts?" The list is embarrassing long. However, there is one reason why I should: It's my dream. And going after my dream will bring me happiness. Isn't that what we all really want? To be happy? I read somewhere once that if you ask a person what they really want, and ask them why they want it an average of 5 times, they will say something along the lines of, "It will make me happy."
My dream is to inspire. In order to do so, I will need to take a few risk. First, I need to expose myself. I don't like the thought of being criticized, but I better get use it. I don't like the idea of not knowing the end result, but that isn't a reason to delay starting. So I choose to start now! To make myself vulnerable. To stop hiding behind the false notion that I can start tomorrow. Days have turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. I refuse to allow more time to pass.
Sure there are a million reasons to give up, before I actually start, but they are all irrelevant reasons. The one reason to start, because it will bring me happiness, defeats all those reasons, so this shall be my focus. One step at a time. I hope people will gain something, no matter how small from my thoughts, experiences and outlook on life. Let me know what you think about everything. I am on this journey to become more of who I wish to be and the growing pains of just beginning are temporary. I am excited about the opportunity ahead.
