See that is it right there. My urge is to want to assist in your dream, to help bridge that gap. Being able to know many different people across the world... if I were already fully living in my passion I could find a sponsor for you or anyone else I'd like to help.
Which brings me to another issue I have been struggling with for quite a while now. Networking.
I'm great at networking in video games. Oh boy can I network there. But irl I'm shaky and don't feel useful at all. Why's that? Maybe I had felt if I fail in a game, it's okay but if I fail someone irl then I would be cast out of the network circle forever.
It's a silly belief and it comes all because I just quite simply don't know how to network irl. If I knew, I'm sure I wouldn't be worried.
And understanding that problem also gives me my solution. Today I've begun eating up every useful site I can find on networking. My first plan (along with focusing on one language starting this week) is to start networking irl; out of video games, not necessarily off the Internet though.
I don't want to limit myself anymore. I'm going to see how far I can go with this. I'm already starting to set up plans and prepare appointments with people who can help me achieve my goals. Yet I won't solely depend on them to change my life. It begins with me.
I now see my dreams as something I can grasp at in a very short time frame. Much effort, but much reward. It's exhilarating yet very sobering in that I realize I've been 'drunk with laziness and fear' for far too long. My mind was numb, but now it's clear and I intend to keep it that way.
