The Mad Minstrel

When life throws you a curveball it’s only natural to stop and take stock, to evaluate your choices and make sure you’re living your best life. I’ve recently had such a curveball and I’ve been making such an evaluation.

Historically, my life choices have been made with financial security in mind. I knew from a young age that I would have to work hard for anything I wanted- and I did, I do. These choices could also be a result of my partner’s health; I’ve always wanted to make sure she was provided for and had everything she needed, and I think I’ve done an okay job there as well.

Life evaluation so far… not bad.

Now I’m at a point where I’ve almost reached those stability goals and I find myself looking towards the next chapter, the next goals.

…

So here it is, I’m in my mid-thirties and have finally given myself permission to follow my dreams. Honestly, I don’t know why I waited. There were always a million excuses not to go through with it but I don’t think there were ever any good reasons.

If this curveball turns out to be nothing more than a speedbump on the road of my life, great! If not, it would be a pretty unfortunate time to start living my dreams.

My point:

Don’t wait. Don’t ever wait. Not for a minute, not for a second.
