Afternoon Ti: Is It All A Dream?

Can I cut back in for a moment?


So, this morning I was doing my normal blog trolling – reading up on the latest news of the day, and getting my laughs in from my favorite blogs. I came across a new blog that had listed a quote from Terrance J, an on-air personality from BET:

…when following your dreams you will be temporarily inconvenienced…

Now, I know Terrance J may not be the most insightful person on the planet, but today that little line rang like a gong in my head. I found myself asking myself whether I was inconvenienced lately for my dreams. The answer was no.

It’s funny. I can put my life on a rigid schedule where I am up late after putting in 8 hours at the job, doing homework on my lunch, and going to the library for hours on Saturdays in order to get this Master’s degree.

But I can’t set aside a few moments consistently to accomplish the dreams that I hold dear. I can’t turn off the tv for a few moments. I find myself to be too exhausted to work. I get caught up in the little things and lose all my free time.

Clearly, I like dreaming. Living would just take too much more effort, I suppose.

So sad.

And so telling.

Evidently my dreams are not as important to me as I thought. I seriously need to get motivated.

Are you being ‘inconvenienced’ for a dream? I hope so! The payoff will be sweet.

Back to your regularly scheduled program…
