Mission Paves The Often Painful, Powerful Path To Fulfillment

Fulfilling unfulfilled dreams is a leap of faith.

Creating something from nothing is insane.

Whether it be a book of poetry, a sculpture, a new business, or finally breathing life into the screenplay that’s been burning a hole in your brain, it’s crazy.

You have to leave the comfort of certainty and leap head-first into uncertainty.

We have to let go, albeit temporarily, of the identity we’ve fabricated and the identity we’re comfortable being.

We’re no longer the CFO, VP, and master of our domain.

We’re an aspiring poet, writer, entrepreneur, or sculptor who more often than not, don’t know the next step.

Becoming who we’ve always desired to be is wickedly exciting. We’ve made a decision (wildly empowering), and we’re doing the thing.

But because we’re new to our endeavor, we’re going to suck in the beginning.

And if you don’t suck in the beginning, you’re not creating anything new; you’re merely doing more of what you’ve always done but with a little twist.

The initial excitement is going to wane; it’s inevitable.
