This is a bone I've been gnawing on for some time now. I periodically return to wonder if my dreams still fit the person I am now....what seemed so clear before becomes clouded with doubt. So my question is, how are your dreams doing? In truth, my impulse to write or to create graphics is shrinking which tells me that I'm probably moving toward giving up this particular dream. I had a goal to write five novels in five years. I stopped at 2.5 and realized that the exercise was simply that....an exercise that did not not fulfill me, did not satisfy my need for expression. So at what point does one realize a dream may no longer fit, or that dreams aren't enough? Should one try to revive a dying dream or move on in one's life to try to find something else to focus limited energies on? My fingers hover over the delete keys so perhaps I've already made my decision. But I wonder how the rest of you are doing with your dreams. Some of you are at the beginning, which is a wonderful time....the birth of a dream is so full of hope. Some of you are busy fulfilling your dreams, which is an amazingly time of energy and focus. Some of you have fulfilled some of your dreams...and that is very satisfying indeed, but some people get left with the "and now what" syndrom after the celebration of completion. So how are you all doing, dream makers? Where are you on the road and are you dressed in the same dreams that you donned when you started your travel? And I don't want this to be about me, despite the soliquy...I'm not looking for encouragement for myuself here. I'm truly interested in how you are doing with your dreams, and what is keeping you on your path (if you are staying the course) or how you decided to change direction (if the dream no longer fit). Just curious.
