Wanderlust. Is the irresistibly strong desire to travel or wander. I often have many dreams of me going to a far distant land, eating local foods and delicacies, appreciating everything it has to offer, and much more.
In my dreams, I see myself in a space where the world is my oyster, and my access to other worlds are limitless. However... the mind is a powerful force. Wonderful and enticing as it maps out my potential wanderlust life, in an it instant can crush all hopes of me ever fulfilling that life. In an instant, fear and doubt take total control of whatever you hoped could have happened. Plus the "Nah! That ain't never going to happen", "Girl, you don't have money for alladat!" and the "Who do you think you are? You don't need to do all of that. You're crazy!"
At times it's not just limited to travel. It could be just simple decisions that I know could have a great impact on me. Such as taking on a new job opportunity, or creating and devoting time to my business idea. But fear always seems to chokeslam it through the ground at the worst possible time.When I have these ideas I get excited and would tell or hint to others "you know I'm about to do something great!" Then two years pass and not a peep has happened. In this case, it's very easy for people to call you lazy, unmotivated, or a letdown. Most people won't, especially those that are close to you or believe in your vision. But when that fear kicks up again, it tells you that "there's no point doing this thing anymore. You waited too long and what if it fails anyway? All those people won't even bother with you."
