Hi Jane,

Physical things tend to have an expiration date: i.e. professional ballet dancer. But, anyone can dance at any age!

When you talk of waiting, maybe it’s an emotional dream: i.e. falling in love. You may or may not fall in love, but you can have a blast like this girl who wrote about her 100 Dates!

For mammoth dreams: i.e. become a famous actress, you may not even get an agent, but you can take classes and make YouTube videos!

What I do (Great American Novel, anyone?) is do the work, but also accept it for where it is. I like to have fail proof plans. Like, I also do “outsider art”. A cartoonist, really. No museums, however, I did have a small following after I made a website. Am I “famous”? Hell no. But at the same time “the gods” seem to place me/want me in totally different things.

Follow the Journey, not the Destination. And try to find a way to have fun with it!!
