So sure of ourself one minute, so afraid the next

We can only be or have one or the other, not both

 

When we set a big goal and prepare for it for several years, something obvious happens. Time passes.

And the closer we get the reality gradually amplifies.

To a fever pitch sometimes.

Ranging from feelings of separation (like from a sudden death) anxiety to unbelievable excitement for the next greatest adventure in life.

Not uncommon to change your mind several times in a single day. And each decision seems final, until it doesn’t again.

It feels like insanity sometimes.

So sure of ourself one minute, so afraid the next.

Why?

The reward for making a decision is in the making of it.

Regret is a poor reward for choosing to not decide.

Especially when the choices are compelling and exciting (and fearful).

How about this one…

Try to imagine writing two hours (minimum) everyday – producing five daily, differently-themed posts – for 1,825 days.

Remarkable, even for the person who did it.

And humbling.

And in the end, the book he promised to write way back in 1979 became a reality in 2013.
