Just got back home from watching Tomorrowland with fam & the boyfriend, and honestly, I've seen the mostly mixed to negative reviews and I have no idea why that is. It has a budget of $190M but if you add advertising costs, it's close to $300M and yet it only earned - so far - less than 50% of its costs. All in all, a flop in most people's estimations, which is a sad thing because I 100% loved the movie. It had such a huge impact on me, made me reassess not my life really, but mostly on how I see and do things now versus how I used to see and do those same things.
This 2015, for personal reasons, I've set myself a seemingly impossible goal - basically, an ambitious monthly income target. So far, I'm on track BUT since it means having to work very hard every month, I also had to struggle with added stress and pressure. The result: I don't get to enjoy my work as much as I used to.
And that's bad.
However, I used to think it wasn't. I used to think that dealing with stress and pressure was normal and that it comes with the territory, since I have such lofty goals to accomplish.
But after watching Tomorrowland - after seeing how much fun things could be just by dreaming, by believing in the possibility that you can do anything, well...it made me realize how I've lost that belief in myself and in what I do. In many ways, I've even lost the power to dream and allowed facts and figures to tie me down.
And yeah, that's not just bad. That's SUPER bad. Losing the ability to dream, IMO, is actually the WORST thing that can happen to anyone.
It happened to me, but thankfully, it's never too late to get it back.
So, yes, I'm going to start over again. I'm just going to work as hard as I can every day but I'll also make sure that I enjoy my work. Now, this very moment, I'm dreaming again. And I believe in that dream. People may think I'm crazy for believing in such dreams, but I know it can happen, God willing.
And as for you - well, just keep believing, dreaming (and, yes, praying). And it WILL happen.
