THE LAZY DREAMERS' CATALYST. 1/5
My cursor blinked mockingly as another
password reset request crawled into my inbox.
I glanced down at the clock, praying it would
somehow be someone else's problem. 3:32pm.
Fuck.
My browser was cluttered with furniture-making
tutorials. Woodworking channels. Japanese joinery
techniques, each fuelling a dream I'd
reserved for "someday".
But right now, "I'm being responsible,
dreams won't pay the bills."
THE LAZY DREAMERS' CATALYST. 2/5
I was a dreamer, a what-ifer,
a professional procrastinator.
I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I could even imagine the intoxicating
feeling of achieving it.
Yet I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Trapped by the comfort of stability.
So I was just, 'THE LAZY DREAMER'.

Then came change.
I didn't have a moment of motivation,
Nothing 'Just clicked' in my brain.
Instead,
I lost my job,

We sometimes need a catalyst, a turning point,
a 'rock bottom'.
I got lucky; the universe presented mine to me.
But it's never guaranteed.
You may have to seek it out.
THE LAZY DREAMERS' CATALYST. 5/5
START WITH CHANGE.
'A ship is safe in harbor, but
that's not what ships are built for.'
