Tired Comteplation

This is me and my cousin Tyler as Dorothy and the Tin Man (in case you've never seen The Wizard of Oz). As of right now I'm wanting to will myself back to those days. It was a nice time.
I was loud and proud of it. I could smile for a camera without having to think if I was showing the right amount of teeth or if I was squinting too much. Things were planned for me.
I could dream big because I had all the time in the world to go out and do something.

Or perhaps I just didn't think about doing things. What does a 9 year old have to accomplish?

Anyhoo now that's all I can think about. Accomplishing great things, entertaining the world, and making it a better place all at the same time. I have all of these big dreams and no where to begin. No body gave me a starting place or a yellow brick road to follow. And it is just so frustrating. I can't settle on one thing. I want to do it all at once.

I have always been bad at making decisions. Now I'm faced with all of these real life situations that go farther than picking a Halloween costume (my older sister always did that for me anyway). It seems to me as though there are too many choices where both options have potential to be amazing or terrible.

Then there's God. Whom we're supposed to trust. I suppose I do trust Him. I trust God to have the right idea for my life because well... He created me. I suppose I'll have to set God aside for the moment. Bringing that in will require a ton more space on this blog and I just won't do that to you... yet.

 Guess what. I'm not Dorothy anymore. I'm out of the dreamy stages of my childhood (and believe me I did my share of day dreaming as a kid). I have real goals that I want to accomplish. They seem super far away and hard to reach, but I think it's time I quit whining to people and step out to get things done. Maybe even take a risk or 2. (Risky things have never seemed fun to me.) MAYBE keep this blog going if that's what it takes.

So folks, what are your life goals? How can you make them work? Because, as it took me entirely to long to learn, absolutely no one is going to hand them to you or set your feet upon a magical path. Not even God can do that without you putting in a little effort.

Create Onward!
