Standing Further Away

I haven't completely figured out this dreaming for the future thing yet.

It is hard to keep things in focus.

What I have realized recently is that the bigger my dreams get, the farther away from them I need to stand to keep them entirely in the picture. It is hard to stand right next to a huge dream and pretend that I can focus on it, while I'm finding it equally hard to stand so far away from my dreams.

This might not be making any sense, but as my desires, plans, hopes, and dreams for the future have been growing the last couple of months, the distance I stand from them has become very noticeable.

I wonder if I'll ever be able to get close to my dream. I imagine, I'll always have to stand far enough from it to be able to explain it in depth to the people that must be around to help me accomplish it. The end goal may be in convincing them to run up close and learn parts of it in greater detail than I ever get to, all the while standing back and hoping the entire thing takes shape.

Do I need to become accustomed to looking at my dreams from a distance, or simply stay in this place until I have memorized the picture well enough to step forward and take a closer look.

Only time will tell, but for now, I know each day I am standing further away from the dream that gets bigger and bigger.
