What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

For myself I believe that the biggest challenge most of us will face over the next six months is the same. The biggest challenge is to stick to the changes that we wish to make in life. For me, I always can dream big and think of different places in the world I would like to be. Yet I still find myself mindlessly scrolling through social media or YouTube videos. Not doing anything to achieve these dreams. Just wasting my time watching other people pursue their dreams and tell me how to pursue my own. While it is often important, in my own opinion, to find inspiration and input from people who have traveled the road you are wanting to travel. But you can’t allow the search for answers consume all of the time you have to chase this dream of yours. One thing I have found in life is that sometimes the best thing you can do is throw caution to the wind and jump into something feet first. Just go out on a limb and pursue your crazy dream when it first comes to mind.

Now I am in no way, shape, or form advocating for you to blindly quit your job and chase your dream of being an underwater basket weaver. What I am saying is once you develop the dream take some time to research what all is needed for this dream to come to fruition. Then once you have a basic understanding take it another step. Start the process of making this dream reality. For instance, I have considered writing professionally multiple times throughout my life. Yet, I never took any steps towards making it a reality. I just automatically assumed that to be a writer you had to come from some kind of specific background, or that it was something you just knew you were going to be from a young age. It also didn’t help that my parents would tell me that writers actually have full time jobs. Yes, that is true, some writers do have full time jobs. But much like other professions you have to start somewhere. There are writers who still hold full time jobs no matter how successful their writing becomes because writing for them is just a hobby they are passionate about. Then you have people who want to write professionally but only get to do it as a hobby because they just aren’t very good, or they haven’t taken the risks required to get their work out there. I would like writing to become my career, I hope that my skills are good enough to gain some recognition and find an audience that enjoys it enough I can do it full time. The freedom to come and go from places as I please, the opportunity to get paid for the knowledge I have, and to have my thoughts on topics seen by the masses drives me to want to do this.

Like most other new endeavors, it is going to take a conscious effort to make this grow into something I can be proud of. The next six months will really show how dedicated I am to this, and if this is truly something I want to do. If by the end of this six months I have lost interest it will be obvious. Now I know that at the end of six months I won’t likely be able to quit my day job and focus only on this but if there manages to be a rising trend in views coming to the site and I am continually finding things to write about then I will gladly continue to do what it is I am doing here. I hope if you have read this and would like to see more, please leave a comment or a like. Thank you, I hope you have a fantastic day! Keep chasing your dreams!
