As the end of first month of 2025 approaches. I'm reminded that time continues tick away. Though despite my frustration with myself I've accomplished quite a bit. I guess that's the feeling that comes with pushing forward. That feeling that you're not moving quick enough, or maybe a fear that you'll blink and awaken some time later only to discover that you fell into distraction.
Overall it's been a good start. As I kicked things into gear, it came with several realizations. There were many things that I ignored while distracted. My idealistic creative side has found itself clashing with the realist in me. So I'm working on acknowledging the realist while, encouraging the dreamer to dream.
The realist in me will point out my previous mistakes. Yet he also points out the decisions that actually beared fruit. I remind myself of those victories as often as I can.
It's the small victories that feed my spirit. Keeping the realist focused on the process, and the dreamer enthusiastic about the possibilities.
