Hopeful Pessimist
Life April 25th, 2006I always dream. I want to do many things in life. But sometimes these dreams overwhelm me. Just thinking about realizing them is tiring. I don’t know where to get the time and energy to achieve them. I prefer to do things one at a time and it seems that when I start pursuing a dream, I will have to forgo of the others. Well I guess life is just like that. One can’t have it all. I just need to prioritize the ones that really matter. But still, I’ll try my best to fulfill each one of them.
Before I start something, I want it all planned out and wait for the perfect time to go for it. But my definition of perfect timing is the moment when I realize that nothing can go wrong. I plan too much that sometimes when I realize that there are risks or possibility of failure, I postpone or worse… I back out. Talk about the cliché “over analysis leads to paralysis.” It’s like taking a bungee jump with the cord secured and all. You think you’re ready to jump but when you reach the edge of the plank you see the long descent. The uncertainty of surviving the jump makes you think again.
I think the solution here is not to go to the edge and start the jump from the middle or start of the plank.
And it’s the same in real life. When you set your mind in doing something, sometimes you have to ignore the risk and uncertainties. If it happens, then you just have to deal with it.

Thanks Naz!
Yes I agree. I guess I’m very focused on reaching my goals that I forget that the journey in itself is already a reward… that I should just enjoy the ride and what matters is that I tried.
God bless naz!
