How do you become practical?
I am a naturally idealistic, impractical dreamer type of person. I rarely make plans. I'll only organize something if I absolutely have to and I rarely stay consistent with anything. When I try to come up with goals, the are unrealistic, over-the-top fantasies. So I tend to be compulsive, end up in places I never wanted to be and unable to realize some ideas I have for my life.
Oddly enough, I am capable of being organized, making reasonable goals and logical decisions-- better than many people who would consider themselves pragmatic, in fact. It's just that I don't like to be that way. There's no motivation or passion in it. I feel limited. I just get plain bored. At this point, though, I'd rather be bored than frustrated.
So, does anybody have some ideas/links/resouces I might look into for being practical without losing my soul?
Thanks ahead of time.
