Step by Step
Quick thought.....
The pursuit of a dream sometimes feels really, really daunting. The goals are so big, and so far away, it can be a little bit paralyzing, when thinking about the entire picture.
I'm trying to find the joy and satisfaction in each step along the way, realizing that only by taking one step at a time can the goal be reached. There are no elevators, no magic bullets along the way. But if I wait until the dream is totally accomplished to finally feel satisfaction, I'll have to wait a long time!
Just trying to embrace and take pride in each step. Knowing that each step MUST be taken, and there are no shortcuts.

Light at the end of the tunnel!!
Yes, sometimes even though each step is hard to take, knowing what lies ‘at the end of the tunnel’ will make everything worth it! In a sense, a person’s creativity is the greatest asset he or she can have, without which there wouldn’t have been a dream to chase in the first place! It influences your judgments, leading you down trying and overwhelming paths…yet at the same time, it gives you the courage and strength to face the very same obstacles!?!
Thank you
It's really, really comforting to know that I'm not alone on this journey, and that there are people out there who clearly understand EXACTLY what I'm going through. Thank you. Now, off I go to write!

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms or books that are written in a foreign tongue. The point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live your way some distant day into the answers."
-Rainer Maria Rilke
