Things are slowly changing and moving for me despite the fact I lack direction or an idea of what I'm exactly trying to do. And even if I did know what I wanted to do it wouldn't speed up the process. In fact, no matter how much clarity or motivation I get, I have to take it slow because of my three week cross-Canada venture which takes up most of August, and a move to a new city in mid-September. I'm not really able to focus on career at the moment or put down solid roots someplace. Everything is up in the air, especially considering that I don't know what my next step will be.

This is similar to a lot of people who are currently in jobs they don't like and wish to one day run their own business. They can't make the leap today so they have to sit and wait for the right moment to act. But that's perhaps where the similarities end - I'm not waiting to act or begin. I'm waiting to focus 100% but I'm not waiting to start.

Currently I'm restructuring my company; recreating my mission statement, looking into hiring a couple of people to work with, changing up a few sites, getting ready to launch another. I'm also taking in a lot of conversations with a lot of different people - seeking answers to questions I didn't even know I had. Despite not working in Hollywood, I'm still going to screenings and premieres, partly to keep myself inspired by movies and partly to just keep in touch with people for reasons I don't know today but might down the road. I'm reading books on wealth and financial responsibility so that I know what to do with the money I have and the money that will eventually come. I'm playing around with different things and also just taking a lot of time to play, hang out, and do nothing.

So even though I'm not able to do everything I want right now or even know what that is, I'm still working on it, slowly, behind the scenes, but working just the same.

I'm a huge believer that you get results based on the effort you put into something; if you put a lot of effort into being miserable, you will be miserable. If you put a lot of effort into being overweight, you will be overweight. If you put a lot of effort into complaining about your current life, you will remain in your current life. However, if you put a lot of effort into moving forward and taking care of things you can take care of right now, you will move forward - even if it's little steps done by even smaller movements.

If you want to have a different life but can't jump into it completely right now, do something - even if it's as simple as changing an old belief or picking up a pen to right down your company name. It's the act of believing in your dreams and then acting on them that will manifest more and more. Just thinking about it, dreaming about it, wishing for it, won't make anything happen. You must do something and keep doing something.

This will be a great habit to get into because trust me, once you do make that dream real there's no sitting back with your feet up on the desk doing nothing but eating bon bons. You'll be working hard, working more, and going through even more changes. If I just laid on the floor and flailed my limbs about because I don't know what I'm going to do come September, chances are, when September comes I won't be any closer to anything. In fact, I'd probably spiral down and be further away from achieving anything.

In order to grasp opportunity, one has to be prepared. So each day I do little by little - even if I don't fully understand why.
