Creative types like myself, tend to eschew dreaming. It is a quality that comes naturally to us, so of course we despise it. And so we strive to become the opposite of what we think a dreamer is. A lawyer,, an accountant- hey, look at me, I have a real, serious job, I don't spend my time doodling on notepads, with my head in the clouds. Except we wish we did. And we spend so many years unhappy and unfulfilled- thinking that this is how life is supposed to be. Myth no 1- only dreamers are happy and being happy is irresponsible.
Myth no 2- money is the only currency. You CAN make money doing what you love, but you have got to actually DO it first, no?
I got tired of being driven by money yet not getting rich or enriched. Where does all the money go? Eighty hours, really??? And today, I had an epiphany. I have a choice. I can change location or my position. The heavens will not fall. It will be okay. I give myself permission. It is okay to dream. For someone like me to thrive, it may be the ONLY way.
It feels good. Pp

Wow ... Word of wisdom for 2013. What was it that someone said (was it J-P Sartre? Don't quote me!): "At the moment of commitment, the entire universe conspires to assist you." Look forward to some surprises. Go, pp, go!
Thank you so much, anonymous!
