I have had to do this with my photography business. It’s honestly the only way I’ve managed to do everything I have so far. Well, that AND the grace of God. Only recently though did I really start dreaming big. I mean, why not, right? We are trying to apply this very concept you’re discussing (and brilliantly illustrating, by the way!) to Jesse and his webcomic and art in general. I can’t wait to read more!
The great mistake I’d like to try and avoid while writing this series of articles is that I don’t want to imply that I’m outlining a path to happiness or something. I don’t want to make a “get a goal and follow these steps and you’ll be happy” thing, I want to make a, “if you have a goal, here’s a good way to pursue it kind of thing.”
There’s no denying that a goal is a wonderful thing to have, but I personally believe there are more important things in life than goals– like seeking truth and being in community and loving people and loving God. So I would tell you be looking for goals, but don’t be pushed around by a pressure to choose.
Only that sometimes, planning on your own doesn’t bring you anywhere closer to your dreams; circumstances (i.e. parents, financial situation etc) might hinder the path.
But overall, I guess one has to shut everything out and listen to God’s will..I’m glad you’re on your way to the goal
This is an amazing way of giving a pep talk

For me the hardest part has to do with picking which goal to focus on in the first place.
Hey Tyler! Yeah, I understand.

I agree– the next coming will be about planning for things you don’t have control over.
