Aug. 31st, 2005 02:01 pmYou have the potential to be a great wizard in the coming week. Here's how to fulfill that promise: (1) Renounce grandiose fantasies of transforming lead into gold or frogs into soul mates. (2) Think small, be specific, get extremely pragmatic, and don't make up stories based on inconclusive evidence. (3) Take everything that's dreamy and hard-to-pin-down and bring it down to earth. (4) Don't bitch about the limitations; love them and use them to your advantage. (5) Treat idealism as a distraction unless it can be translated into concrete acts that do some good for actual human beings
Wake-up call? Maybe. I already came to the conclusion that I am fed-up with trying to turn frogs into soul mates. Dealing with things on a pragmatic level suits me anyway. As much as I like to dream, in the end, it is making something happen that has the lasting result.
Think small... alright, I can do that. Do the laundry, take a shower, stop at the store or the bank, etc.... I can handle that. Probably better than worrying about the big picture. This is good advice anytime, but especially when one is feeling overwhelmed. It is a lot of how I am coping, and coping well, I might add, with my current limbo.
Oh, and one of my main characters on WOW is a wizard, so I already know I can be one. So there!
Get yours.
