The Change that supports a dream!

After several weeks of high stress and pressure, I knew something had to go. I overloaded with so many obligations that it was impossible to do well at any of them. At the very least, I had to be a great mother and wife but after that everything sort of blurred together. My life was out of focus. At the very root of me, I am a writer but with all the other obligations and duties there was little to no time to grow in my craft. Enough was enough. I wanted to finally start growing as a writer.

After watching tons of shows, I realized that writers were abundant but no person is alike so my writings would be just as good as anyone already in the business. Though I lacked in many areas, I still knew that my voice was my own. My work was worth waiting on and I knew it was time to use it or lose it.

I was still young but time waits for no person and I was tired of procrastinating. After much study, I came to know that procrastination is self-sabotage. It means you are afraid to be great. Honestly, I didn’t have the strength to keep playing myself, only to lose. I had to win and win big.

After all of the struggle and strain and years of mediocrity, something had to give. I knew I changed because I felt hungry again. Anything that brought a distraction to writing was out of order. God and family are always first but directly after my immediate family is my gift. I had to write and longed to write like never before.

What is a dream of yours that suffered to procrastination?

Do you still desire to reach for the dream? If so, give yourself a real chance at doing something positive and let your light shine.
