I wanna be starting something.....

All I can really think is how do I make more money? While a nine to five job is great, it’s still not enough! How can I help myself? What can I do that brings me indescribable joy and still puts cash in my pocket?
Okay, let’s see;
Dancing... nah
Singing... no way
Aristocracy... not likely
Writing... hmm, not sure...
Trading... not unless i'm ready to start shooting people cause that’s what I'll do to my debtors!
Then it hits me, Eureka!! Film making, documentary making to be precise!
Yes, I could see myself doing that but wait a second that fulfills only half of the dream; I mean I’ll love to film but what about the money bit? How can I make money from doing this?! And so I went on to question this for 2 years and here I am still searching for something to do that will bring me satisfaction and the much needed cash that will turn my little egg nest savings into a full blown dragon nest savings:)
I’ve come to realize that I for one spend a lot of precious time analyzing and weighing instead of just doing. Sometimes, we need to just do, stop asking too much questions and over thinking a situation. I believe all the prolonged questioning might be our sub-conscious trying to change our minds from doing stuff because we think we can’t handle it or make it work. This is not to say giving an issue thought is wrong, on the contrary its the best way to go but when you find yourself giving reasons why none of your ideas will work out then i believe its time to stop. At this point, run your ideas by someone knowledgeable weigh the pros and cons and work towards achieving it.
It’s quite possible that even after making the decision to start, somewhere in between we abandon the project. For instance, after i decided to start the documentary making process, with the help of a friend i got a camcorder to start with, just filming stuff and basically learning how to handle the camera and understanding it and what I hope to achieve with it. It took me 2 months after getting the camcorder to buy a memory card which I was supposed to use with it! Did I mention the shop were memory card is sold is just at the end of my street and I go by it every day after work?!
I’m just glad I have it now and hopefully I’m starting for real now and won’t pause in between. This I believe is how dreams become reality; be determined and take steps in the direction geared towards making your dreams as real as they can get. If you can dream it it’s very possible to achieve it with determination, heart and prayers. With these three ingredients, I don’t think there’s anything we can’t achieve.
Do something you’ve always wanted to but have been too scared to try; it’s good for the heart. It may not turn out exactly how you planned but you’ll have done something and conquered your fear.
I pray for the grace for us all to achieve our fullest potential and to live this life flying high like the rockstars that we are;)
Feel free to share something about you and the chance you took on something. Xoxo…
