I understand exactly what you mean. I feel like I could’ve written those words myself.

To answer your question. Yes. A lot of us feel like that. I find that I used to stay stationary and “talk” a lot but never “do”. Then I decided one day that I wanted more out of life than that. I think it’s because we are comfortable staying in that little hole. It’s safe and wonderful. But you are going to outgrow that hole whether you want to or not, because it is the human experience to grow and expand. You will be afraid because it means so much to you and the outcome is sometimes uncertain. But embrace the opportunity to continue your spiritual journey. Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.(I am not sure who’s quote that is, but I carry it close to my heart) So be prepared to be scared. Jump right in because that means you are on the right path to what’s important to you! Happy trails!

i know it’s an old entry but had to post. i mean this happens to me all the time (and i know it does to many more people).

well since a little kid i’ve always wanned to be an actor, an since my mother is an artist too i thought this was easy, but i hasn’t been… for the past few years i’ve been trying to see how to stop this circle of no doing anything (since here the problem is that they don’t take to much care in art and i don’t know any actting school or anything (venezuela ) ), but after readding one of your posts the other day about the ‘VFS (vancouver film school), i did my research and i really love the place and the thing the offer (and the kind of people that come out form there), so i asked a few questions, but since i’m studing a career here and don’t have money to move to canada yet (and living there was always been my dream so), i think i’ll have to be patient, but at least now i found something so am happy lets hope i won’t be spinning in circles again.

and i hope you get out of your circle too, i’m here to support

I’m one of your over-aged fans, been reading you for a while. You seem like you really care about people and things, too much if that is possible. All I can tell you is that I have often felt the way you do, every change brings trepidation and excitement. At 46 I’m still glued but running. It feels good now. Pity those who don’t feel that way.

Best of luck to you young friend.

‘It is feeling inspired and frozen at the same time; feeling the need to sprint with my feet super glued to the starting blocks.’

Perfect way to put it. Never alone. As much as we feel alone at times, we are never truly alone. The world is full of kindreds. The only way to live with peace in these stagnant times is to embrace life for what it is, living fully in the moment, loving “what is.” Everything you go through is exactly what you need to grow through. Embrace it with gratitude and grow! You are a radiant soul on a human journey…live it fully with grace and wisdom…and laughter.

love love love and peace….

I check into your blog from time to time and just read this post.
It spoke to me as if I was listening to the voice within. As you can see from the 115 posts before me (I hope you read this far down) you are definately not alone in this feeling although I know it feels as if you are.
I’ve been stuck in this state of being for so long now I can’t see an alternitive
I hope you’ve found your way out Allison!!

I am so with you on this. Every since I was a little girl I have wanted to become a writer. I love movies and the whole concept that surrounds them. I have the talent and I know that the good Lord above gave it to me to share with the world. To tell stories for the world to read or watch to take them from their mundane lives to some where that can touch their hearts or make them laugh. I have plenty of ideals and have started so many movies, my only problem is that I can’t seem to make myself sit down and finish one before I start the other. I know what I want to happen from the beginning to the end. I just can’t seem to get there. I know what steps I need to take to make my dreams and goals come true, but it’s seems like a task I can’t complete. My husband always tells me that my work is great and should be shared with the world, why is it that its so hard for me to put on my shoes and take that next step?

I was going to leave another one of my very long posts but I saw that David Hayes said a lot of what I was thinking. I have rarely seen another person that is really so NOT stuck. You are evolving at a tremendous rate, girl! But I think that I understand your feeling. There is an awareness in you that’s coming to the forefront of what you CAN become. And I think you want to experience a lot of that right NOW. Join the club. But be patient. Most of us would give our eye teeth to be where you are now and have the unique opportunities that are laid out like a long red carpet in front of you. And that carpet is strewn with precious diamonds for you. But even those precious jewels are small and dull compared to the jewel you are becoming. You are just becoming very sensitized to your seeming limitations. My friend, your smile alone can heal a lot of hearts in this world. You vastly underestimate your power right now, let alone the power of where you’re headed. There is SO much love around you, so many of what some may call angels. Just listen… and then go out and light up the darkened places with your smile, with your compassion. You already have enough of the tools. First rule: Giving and receiving are exactly the same thing. The more you offer from your heart, the more you will get of what you are looking for. How much love is coming to you right NOW? Feel it. Use it. Become it. You fill MY heart just thinking about you.
