There are two fundamental aspect involved in any action: understanding an issue, and acting on that understanding.
The first is liberalism, the second is conservatism. Both are completely useless without the other.
basically – pure liberalism thinks without acting, pure conservatism acts without thinking.
I could write a whole book about this. Actually, when in the sort of frame of mind where I imagine myself as something other than the nearly inanimate object that I seem to be, both physically and in regards to ambition, I see this whole book laid out before me. In my mind I somehow secretly call it Cole/God’s gift to the human race. How’s that for an uncomfortable look into the blackness of someone’s diseased soul.
Imagining the final goal in over idealized terms is a surefire way to keep it from becoming a reality. It sounds like a good premise, if you have any real ambition to make it into a reality then you have to start writing. After that, don’t get discouraged when your first attempts fail miserably at matching up to the idealized version in your head. Most great works started out as something entirely different in their creators minds and it’s their ability to power through those moments when their most discouraged that make them great.
Good Luck.
