Don’t Settle

When I was young, I wanted to be a rock star.

Not a pseudo-celebrity social media rock star…

A real rock star.

I didn’t become a rock star because I didn’t try.

I told myself I couldn’t do it, or maybe I was simply afraid to fail.

Knowing what I know now, I know I could have done it.

Knowing what I know now, I know I can do anything I truly want to do.

Not that it’ll be easy… just that it’s doable.

Listen.

Skip directly to what you truly want to do.

Don’t substitute.

Don’t settle.

Do.

  • I'm glad I stumbled upon this site and have started with the lessons. I'm a college student and since I'm a creative individual I hear from my professors that it wold be preferable for me to get an MFA so that I have being a professor to fall back on since it's a cold cold world out there in which our hopes and expectations are not always met. But I really dislike academia. I can't stand profs now, why would I ever want to be one? Lol

  • Thanks Brian for allowing me this chance to even eroll in your course. From what is written on this comment page, it seems like most commented last year, or before. Anyway, if there are any more like me (late enlistees') so to speak, I (we) appreciate having this time now!
    I enjoying what I'm reading and digesting this far. Many of the points you bring, are what has been dancing in my mind for quite a long time, and all is true'. There is no time like the present, and with that, I'm headed for the uncomfrotable zone' and looking forward to it. Thanks again, and please don't stop it now!

  • I like very much your posts! Thank you.
    But what to do when you are tired of doing something and simple that"something" just doesn't work.

    Sorry about my bad english.

    Regards

  • You are absolutely right! I have never been able to face what I want without fears. It's a shame....

    • You're only humang Bagia - there will always be fears when you set your heart on a big challenge. It's what you do about the fears that counts...

  • I'm going for it! Walking out on that water of my dreams! thanks for the poetic command to begin the first steps into what i'm designed for.
