You’ve got that right! I have found a WORLD of difference between those who want to write a blog or book, and those who actually keep at it day after day. First you must decide exactly WHY you want to commit to your goal for the next few years at least. Why do you feel driven to accomplish this task?
It took one doozy of a midlife crisis (which continues to this day!) for me to commit to a complete career change, and the years of research and writing I have completed since 2005.
Thank you for your writing. You have one lovely website here! – Laura Lee aka the Queen!
Thanks LL!
Carol,
I often wonder if dreaming becomes as much a goal as the real thing? Love the reference to writing the acceptance speech first!
I think some of us let the dream substitute for the real thing. It’s almost as good. I once (yrs ago) asked my therapist why we couldn’t just have relationships in fantasy, they worked so much better! (Sometimes I still think that…LOL)
Boy howdy. Anything worthwhile takes work, lots if work. I find that when someone resents someone else’s success, it’s because they don’t want to exert the effort to achieve it themselves.
