This challenge came on an interesting day. I've been
thinking a lot about my future. But at the same time I've been resisting
resisting resisting because the fact is: I need a break.
I kind of don't want to stop working, moving forward, and PROGRESSING, but I also think that's exactly why I NEED to. I'm getting a little too dependent on the desire to be busy.
You can’t fill yourself up with work alone and expect to be happy.
So right now I'm just trying to embrace the elusive nature of my future. Appreciate the endless possibility and even come to LOVE that I have few solid plans.
It’s all going to be ok. It's all going to work out.
Anyways, here are some things I'm wiling to commit to. But just let me be upfront about this, I make no super big important plans because when I intend on doing something – shit gets done. And like I said, I NEED SOME DOWN TIME. I'm not willing to take on TOO much.
So, here are my sort-of-intentionally-pathetic-near-future-commitments-towards-my-dreams:
1). I dream to be braver. So I will commit to telling someone (that's not easy to talk to) that I love them.
2). I dream to be a better writer. Which means I'll commit to writing MORE.
3). I dream to be more creative. Therefore, I vow to paint at least FIVE TIMES between now and the end of the month.
4). I dream to be more adventurous. So, I'm going to spend a day only saying yes to things. I will not be able to turn down anyone's offer to anything.
5). I dream to have more freedom. This means that I need to start researching ways to get me a wheelchair accessible van. I need to start price checking, finding what's reasonable for me, and look into grants/charities/ways to raise money.
