August 23, 2019 - News Post

When I was little, I was able to work toward all my goals equally.

It didn’t matter if I was training to become an astronaut, practicing to become a superhero, or preparing to one day eat at a restaurant (my family didn't go out to eat all that often). Every dream I had seemed equally attainable. So I’d devote an equal amount of time. Now, I'm finding that I have to pick and choose between dreams.

So what happened?

If I want to be a better programmer, I need to study. Better artist? I need practice. If I want be a better husband, I need to pay attention or something, who knows.

Sadly, I can only work on a few goals each year.

I certainly had more free time as a kid. But I don't think that's the issue. I think when I was little, I didn’t let as much stand in my way. I didn't have a firm grasp of logic, common sense, or basic knowledge to stop me. I kind of miss doing that.

If I wanted to play with a toy, I played with the damn toy. If I wanted to color, you’d better believe I colored.

The point is, we can all learn a lot from the strategy of diving in without hesitation.

You know, like I did when I started this newspost.

The End.
