2018 2 weeks after I quit my job to travel. Colombia

There is a huge gap between:

I want to.

I am planning on.

I think I will/can.

I am going to.

This is the gap. The next steps are where the magic happens:

I am on the plane.

I booked the ticket.

I sold my stuff.

I quit my job.

3 years later, Home in Colombia, with my shadow aka Eris the dog!

So what are the differences?

Action!

The second set is action. The first is the dream stage.

And if that is what you want to dream, I am all for it.

Don't get me wrong, the dream state is amazing and completely necessary. It fuels you to finally move to the action step.

There have been a ton of studies that just dreaming of it, actually can provide enough.
