Dreaming Big, Becoming Brave

I recently purchased the book, Words That Matter, which is a compilation of quotes from the Oprah Magazine. Some of you may be thinking that I'm an Oprah junkie from previous posts, but anytime I see a good book of quotes, I snap it up. This book is no exception.

As I go through this life journey, I need little quotes or pick-me-ups to help guide me or to help me identify the path that's right for me. Even in knowing that what I'm doing is what I should be doing.

George Bernard Shaw, a playwright, writes, "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will."

I'm not sure if this means I should immediately pursue a new job (I've been looking into editor jobs out of state); if I should look more into going to Paris, France for the new year (with a tour group); or if I should continue drafting and writing a book. I imagine I'll do all of these things eventually. The photography is a slow work in progress, mentioned from my first post... Is it better to stick to one thing at a time or to delve into more than one in hopes they'll all be accomplished at some point in the near future?
