No one else seems to understand—
They’re going at it the other way
Starting with what they want,
Expecting the other pieces will fall into place.

And often it does—because people like you make it happen.

But in your proud mind it’s set in stone
You can’t follow your dream
Until you’ve earned the right
By setting everything in order first.

And the day doesn’t come—because you’re crippling yourself.

Because there’s always someone else
Who needs your time,
Could use your resources.
And you never have 100% left in your own pocket.

The day will come—because frustrations will build.

And something will click:
You’ll decide to dive in anyway,
Even when the water is rocky and deep.
You’ll learn by leaping.

Finally the day will come—and that will make all the difference.
