----- EDIT (an unrelated mind-ramble) -----
Science, art, entrepreneurship. Traveling, writing, drifting… yes, I want my cake, and to eat it too. To be at all places, all at once. To live one life, and then another, and another…
… if you could visit your FAVORITE amusement park once in your entire life, and you only had time for ONE ride, which one would you choose? Witty solutions from readers aside, I suppose the answer would vary depending on the person.
For me, there’s more than one ride I’d like to go on, but long waiting times for each! (No fast-passes in life, drats). There’s so much I want to accomplish within a certain time-frame.
Being vague here because it is the internet after all, but I do have specific goals in mind. These goals are not a dreamer’s fantasy, without foundation… obviously, to be good at something one must FOCUS on that specific area. Knowing this is frustrating at times; I would like to accomplish so much, plus not be half-assed about each endeavor, but to give each my all (ironic wording, much?).
*note: When I say “accomplish”, the aim is finishing the task, not money or fame (though they are sometimes side-effects). It just feels like there’s so much to put out into the world; so much potential for creating and destroying. (The wonderful thing is that everyone has great potential, but that’s a conversation for another day). Like getting your hands on buckets and buckets of paint – it would be boring to just let them sit there, or to merely paint a house… a more entertaining choice would be to splatter the walls/floor/ceiling/people with the paint *grin*.
Recently, to avoid starting many goals but finishing none, I have been reminding myself to be patient, and to take things one step at a time; that with hard work, all that needs to be accomplished will be, in their own due time.
