Tortoise as a Verb

November 7, 2018 · Leave a Comment

What do you do with the in between time? That’s the time after one dream has left and another has yet to manifest. How is NOW properly propagated to pull yourself forward to your next dream.

Well, first you have got to get a dream!
What if there seems to be no dream on the doorstep of your being? No aspiration inspiring enough to get you to make get up and go? How does one generate enthusiasm where none seems to exist? What is the catalyst for future finding? How can I get on board of my own life when I feel illegitimate and abandoned and sick?
Where are my guardian angels to pick me up and make me do things I tell myself I want to do yet do not do?
What kind of fool am I to think I am so capable and swank and irresistible? Where is my motivation to be found? Why does it seem I am quitting or happy to drag my feet?
