Ok so step back for a moment. Take a break from your routine; a breather from work, that thing you gotta do, the timer in your mind. What are we all doing? I don't know about you. I haven't felt your situation with my own feet, or picked up your goals and turned them in my own hands. I gotta say though, whatever it is, it may or may not be important but it is how you are living. And that defines you right now. You could be finishing up school, finding ways to blow it off and still get by, you could be just trying to get by. I could be working my ass off for multiple things. To move out, to go to Japan, to get my band off the ground, to become a better musician, to learn a knew language, to be able to support myself. All or nothing, it's still something. And it all boils down into the same dish - my dream of completion. When we're in a tunnel with the light at the end, that's all that is ever in our sight. And we will go about it any way we can to gain it. You can fight, you can strategize, you can baby step, enjoy the ride, look for someone to carry you there. However you do it, it's being done. All in our own way for our own reason. But it still is generally the same structure. Have a life's wish, and somehow get it. Maybe not right away, maybe not just one dream, or even one at a time but the whole shi-bang!
My point is... with that in mind, don't worry. Everyone else is freaking out at one point in the journey. You get caught up in climb and just want what's at the end of the ride already. Sometimes you're lucky enough to go along the same path with someone, but you most likely will have to split ways. Sometimes others can only see their path and believe that it is so absolute that they get angry for those who don't tread the same route. Some are the exact opposite and want to be the only one to discover and claim a trail. Sometimes we all hitch hike on the main road for a while, or work together to gain some ground, or run away till we feel right again. I can't say we all have the same destination, but maybe in a vague sense, we will all get one common ground. Who cares how we got there, that's what makes us who we are! So what is Ginna took the same path as you but you guys didn't take anything from it the same? Embrace the goodness that is this. Remember to not get caught up in all the pretty words and dazzling attractions. Just take in the essence of that common ground and the level of likeness in the air. The peace, the love, the brotherhood.
Rewind. We are not there yet, and might not live to see the day come on this earth. Keep treading, striding, bee-lining your way to that ambitious goal of yours. No dream is too wild to chase after. No hoop is too outrageous to jump through to get it.
Your dreams are no more important than the person next to you nor do theirs make yours unimportant. Your stepping stones in the path you take are souly yours. You will take all sorts of things from it, and no two people will pertained them the same. It isn't wrong. It's just what gets the best results for you.
Think about that goal. Your life's dream. That one true wish.
What does it mean to you? Why is it worth anything to you?
Hold that as your one and certain truth. Cling to it when things get hairy. Let it simplify things when your efforts seem fruitless. Give it faith and it will renew your energy in the battle. Cuz no matter how much you believe your cause will help the world when you finally achieve it, the world is going to be fighting so hard to keep you from it. Enjoy the climb if you want. Hate it and only rejoice once the hard work is payed off. Do whatever you want. Nothing is stopping you. Nothing is impossible for this one true absolute desire. But do get up and "do". You cannot call this an action until you wake up and work to make the dream reality.
