Doing Anything is Easy (Being Good At It Is Something Else)
Many of us have big dreams that we try not to think about. Some people want to be astronauts. some people want to be rock stars.
Yet few people will admit it at a social gathering.
.
Problem is, it seems a bit silly to admit to our ambitious dreams and hopes. We figure they have a small chance of becoming real.
We let a fear of failure prevent us from speaking them. What’s worse,, they prevent us from acknowledging them!
Anything Goes?
So can you achieve anything you want to? And can you be whatever you want to be – like the teachers told you at school?
Read on as GenuLines looks at how and why this can be the case.
How to be a Rock Musician
If you want to be a rock musician, what do you do? The first step is to start playing rock.
What you could do next though is to start recording that playing. Then upload it to YouTube.
Do this enough and in time you’ll get a following as people start to add you and subscribe.
Over the course of a few years, you could end up with a list of subscribers. One that’s long enough to make you something of a minor celebrity…
Want to be a novelist?
Then you can write a book and publish it on a self publishing site to be able to say you’re a ‘published author’.
The point is that in some ways it’s easy to become the thing you want to be. Getting to the level where you’re professional is harder,but you don’t need to make your job the thing that defines you.
So in other words, if you want to say you’re a ‘writer’ all you have to do is to ‘write’.
When you look at your goals and dreams like this, it allows you to forget the idea of failure. Failure is no longer an issue and so you can attack your goals with vigor.
You can’t fail when you ‘write regularly’.
You’ll enjoy the things you’re passionate about. And you won’t think you have to lie or downplay your hopes and objectives.
Take your shot at being what you want to be. But remember that getting to the highest levels will take time!
