Stop Dreaming. Now.

I used to be a dreamer.  I would dream big dreams.  Dreams that would take me on adventures.  Far away places.  Strange people.  Languages I would never understand.  Mountains.  Villages.  Volcanoes.  The fields of Rohan.

I used to dream of seeing the sun rise over the Sea of Japan.  I used to dream of watching the stars from the Great Wall of China.  I used to dream of walking the streets of Seoul in the dusk of morning as the city awoke.  I dreamed big dreams.

But that was the problem.  I dreamed.  I didn’t go.  Excuses.  Excuses. Excuses. 

       
          “Well, when     (fill in the blank)     happens, then I’ll go.”

          “Traveling is expensive.  I can’t do it now.”

          “I can’t go see the world.  I have to work.”

          “I have an apartment lease, mortgage, car payment, etc. etc. etc.”

The most difficult thing to do is convince yourself of what is possible.  I was my own worst enemy.



But I've figured it out.
          It's quite simple really.
                    Curious?
