Keep Your Destiny To Yourself

“DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you’re about WILL COME TRUE. It’s a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it’s a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It’s best to keep that all inside.” -Bob Dylan, The Bob Dylan Scrapbook: 1956-1966

That exciting vision you have, that thing you’re on fire about…it’s tempting and fun as hell to go tell a bunch of people your dreams.

Don’t.

Resist at every turn, the impulse to talk about it.

Instead, get busy. Get to work.

Capture what’s in your head. Write it all down until you have some clarity.

Set goals and then turn those goals into projects. Complete with micro steps and deadlines.

Take action.

Action. Action. Action.

Pretty soon, you won’t want to talk about it.

Because you’re too busy being about it.

P.S. – Happy 83rd Bob!
