See it. Touch it. Taste it. Do it.
I am guilty of overthinking. I come from a rational place. I grew up around mostly people who did what they were ‘suppose’ to do, and I was taught to do the logical thing. 1+2=3. This plus that will give you a certain outcome, but some things don’t have a set formula. Some dreams require that you create your own formula. Some things you just have to live out, and there is no road map to guide you.
I once was a young boy growing up in the country with big dreams and no clue. Today that young boy is still a part of me. I am a creator. I create from passion. I don’t over think when it comes to art, but in life I often move too cautiously. In business, I sometimes allow fear to stop me from fully committing. In my heart, I have often let people in to a point but I allowed my thoughts to block them from truly penetrating my soul.
I procrastinate because of fear. I overthink, and before I am aware the time has passed by or the moment has expired. This has been my story.
But something changed this past year. I realized that freedom is very important to my being in all that I want to accomplish. Of course I will always think about things. We were given brains to be put into good use, but sometimes you must simply follow your instincts.
Right now I am headed to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I have been living in NYC for 12 years, and I have longed to visit Toronto but I always had an excuse not to go. I have met many people who recommended that I visit Toronto, and inside I felt a ‘yes’….but every excuse would cause me to say ‘not now’. This time I decided to stop overthinking it and forget the excuses. I am learning to lean less on logic and more on hope. There is something I am meant to see, touch, taste, and do in Toronto. I don’t have the answer, and maybe I don’t need an answer.
See it. Touch it. Taste it. Do it.
Live right now!
