In relation to a writer, most readers believe in the Double Standard: they may be unfaithful to him as often as they like, but he must never, never be unfaithful to them.
-- W. H. Auden

What

 

Think in your mind, at this moment, what would thrill you. Down to your socks thrill you. Goosebumps, eyes-closed, ohmygod thrill you.

Got that in mind?

Now... that's the what.

How do you get there from here?

Get moving toward that image in your head. The thousand-mile journey begins with the first step... and comes closer with each footfall.

Consider Russell Crowe's Oscar acceptance speech...

You know, when you grow up in the suburbs of Sydney, or Auckland, or Newcastle, like Ridley or Jamie Bell... or the suburbs of anywhere... You know, a dream like this seems kind of vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. But this moment is directly connected to those childhood imaginings. And for anybody who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage, it's possible.
Half a world away, the son of movie set caterers in New Zealand, he ambles through life and winds up winning for a couple of roles.

Anything is possible. How do you get to where you want to be?
