The Stare

Eyes are open with the multi spectrum lights hitting your face from all sides, drawn to all but interested in none.

You believe your dream is lost somewhere within this spectrum and search and dig, day in and day out, only to be left with nothing.

Is it the searching that is the issue?

When you know what you want isn’t it just execution at that point?

Why continue to search?

To find an easier way to reach your goals and what you are looking for?

Calendars and other peoples agendas staring you in the face day in and day out.

Once again you know exactly what to do but you tell yourself you are lacking motivation and are just lazy and are really buying into that sort of thing.

You sit and stare at all that is around you, you see the potential in yourself but have yet to fully act upon it.

Excuse after excuse after excuse you sit through, none of it really making sense other than the fact that you are just getting very lazy as you get older and more comfortable with your life.

There are days that you will need to push your boundaries of being uncomfortable and just fall.

Fall into what you want to do and crash in the most elaborate way possible, get the noise out of the way so you can work on what it is you want to be doing.

The daily stare at what you don’t want to be doing is only keeping you where you are at and creating ever more uncomfortable situations that you want to be in.

I must admit that I am stuck in this endless gaze, staring at all the colors but not one that really strikes me as brilliant. They are as dull as what is trying to be portrayed and all that comes out of them is a leash that keeps you stationary and always coming back for more.

To break the gaze you must take time to yourself during the prime time for brain washing.

You must fall apart and put yourself back together in order, in your own order. The order that suits what you want to putout in the world, you must make yourself streamlined for this kind of thing.

Let yourself overflow with what it is you want, let it spill on the floor, let others see it and help you pick it up with the hope that it will spread to them and they will then spread it to others.

The stare is where you waste your time doing exactly what the title suggests — you stare at the world of others, live in the world of others and be in the world of others while you sit and watch your dreams float by.

Stop staring, stop preparing and start your action, it is what you want to do.

Don’t worry about mistakes or looking stupid or being perceived as someone who has no idea what they are doing.

Just go for it and keep at it, never stop and you will become the master of your own domain faster than you may think you can.
