Crossing From “Almost There” to “There”
This can be a serious challenge, in especial when blazing new trails where you’ve never been before.
For a long time now I have felt that I am at the cusp of getting from “almost there” to “there.” As in nearing the goal versus reaching it.
That’s not entirely correct, though. More than the goal itself, what I am striving to find is being “there” on the path I have chosen and making my living through it. For me, that’s writing and recording audiobooks full time. As in, specifically, making a living wage from this.
There are greater goals past this, but this one is the path I wish to be traveling on. I am taking this path right now, but it’s not quite producing the fruit I am attempting to cultivate.
Currently, I am working on writing full-time. This includes composing two articles per day, as well as doing work on other projects like my sci-fi series. Additionally, I have been hired to record audiobooks for another, and they want me to continue doing more.
Am I there yet? No. Why? Because while I am doing what I desire to do, I am not yet on the precise path I seek to be upon from it. The volume is at 6 and I want to turn it up to 11.
Or to be precise, it’s good to get paid but I should like to be paid better.
