HE SAID : “It is actually easier for me not to bother myself. Afterall, I have a job, money, a pension pot. I can buy the things I want if I want to. Either I save or I drop myself into the never-never with a loan or credit card. Thats okay, as long as I carry on doing what Im doing. All will be fine.
So, why do I see myself doing other things that I could only achieve by leaving this comfort zone. More to the point, why do I want to change all this?”

SHE SAID : “And then I remembered. I had to study and apply myself, make an effort and stay motivated in order to get to this point where I am now comfortable. But the here and now doesnt feed my soul anymore.”

I had a vision. It wasnt to save the world either :-)
I like this world, just not the people in it. Well, thats not wholely true. Anyway, I had this vision. I saw myself achieving a level of success that I thought, was attainable given the facts I had to hand. In order to achieve this vision I set myself goals. These goals were small. They were little deviations from the routine day I participated in. One of them was to make an effort to take a detour home so that I could pick up the application form I needed to apply for what it was I wanted to do. I already recognised what I would need to do to achieve my vision and that it was my goal to reasearch my subject. Not too difficult, especially as I had a slight interest in it. So, little goals. Big vision.
I know this isnt groundbreaking stuff Im writing, but it dawned on me how easily I had forgotten to do something about the situation I was in. I knew I wasnt happy about myself, even though I had no reason to change it. But I identified that I would rather be this than that and lept into it. Yes, I had doubts. Yes, it could have failed and I would be stuck. But, it didnt and I am the only person who got me here. What did I learn? I learnt that I am better off here and happier doing this. Had I found the opposite, I would have another vision and set goals for that too.

(Im sure them know this is for them. Sorry if it doesnt make sense)
