I subscribe to a lot of email lists, most with the hope of learning new things to help me grow as a person or professional. Sometimes, though, it's good to have an old nugget of wisdom re-worded for me and brought to my attention again.
That's what I got today when I finally read a four day old email from
Write To Done. It was a guest post written by a guy who started blogging to document the process of writing a novel.
He talked about something I have struggled with for many years: letting my dreams become so big that I can't act on them. The best advice he gave is no less true for being well-known:
Decision=Action. If you can make a decision, even a small one, regarding your dream of success/freedom/a better, happier life, it will lead to action. And action leads to (eventually) living your dream realistically. That means living your dream with all the highs and lows and plateaus that were likely stymieing you in the first place.
If dream paralysis has a hold on you, read
How To Dream Without Making Dreams Your Master. It just might make a sense of ease wash over you.
