I'm not waiting anymore.

What we want we must create
What we risk will be regained
What we’d assume we must forsake
What’s been destroyed can be replaced--Trial

The world will fail us if we give it a chance. The longer we spend being led, the more we forget how to lead. Whatever you want out of life you need to create for yourself, rather than sitting around waiting for a life that's passed you by.

This quote also serves as a reminder to me that nothing in life is permanent. Everyone can relate to feeling trapped during certain periods of their life. Most times we act as if we don't have a choice in the matter; "I can't do this and I can't do that..." Well, yes you can, you are just afraid too. There is always a choice to be made. Sometimes that choice may not be the most convenient or easiest decision to make but there is always a way out. Sometimes we just need to make that leap of faith.

As I enter the second quarter of my life and inch towards my thirties, my friend and I have made the conscious decision to make a new film. We are looking to shoot the film for $200-500k. Investors are the only variable in the equation. We don't know how long it'll take to raise money for the film, if we can at all. Essentially, I will putting my life on hold for two to three years. It's comforting to know, however, that whatever I risk materially (money, career/salary, etc) can always be regained over the course of my life. As they say, nothing risked and nothing gained...
