In these exciting times I am constantly inspired to great and worthwhile pursuits. Opportunities that were once available to only a lucky few can now be done by anyone who will. Write a book, start a movement, teach others, share what you've learned, connect with people around the world, make art, design anything.
Possibilities are enchanting; potential enthralls.
If you think about it, however, you can predict the downside to all this bounty:
Somehow, someday, when I'm ready to actually bring even one of those possibilities into reality ...
I will probably have to focus,
to look all that limitless potential
right in the eye
and start slamming doors, pruning ruthlessly, eyes closed, fingers in ears, la-la-la-la, choosing over and over to ignore, pass by, forego.
Opportunities that were golden just moments ago, before the decision to Actually Do Something, are now nothing more than shiny traps and siren songs luring the unwary into the Bog of Distraction.
In case you haven't figured out, it's a problem for me. Just sayin'
