Give up what you think you want
You may dream of experiencing things that aren't happening as fast as you'd like. It may be too early to tell whether these things are meant to occur at all. Are you assuming too much too soon? Perhaps you're putting all your eggs in one basket. Take a risk to leave all that behind you.
Whatever your view, you don't have to give up your dreams, but it may be worth taking the risk to separate yourself from what you think is the preferable outcome. To take your mind off your hopes doesn't erase your intention, or your will to succeed, but it just may free the negative energy that causes your tension and a sense of helplessness about certain events.
Imagine, for a minute, that there's another way. We're so often taught that concentrating on a goal is what will make it come to be. Holding onto the thought that results may not come simply focuses energy on fear and insecurity. Learning detachment is based on your belief that the most appropriate outcome will unfold, whether or not you put all energy in that direction.
Rather than become wrapped up in trivialities, why not free your mind to get involved in other pursuits? You can take steps to connect whatever you do to a larger picture. To give up focusing most of your energy on what you think you want, might open your eyes to experiences you never knew existed. You may discover you have been chasing things that aren't going to happen.
What is known has happened already. Traditional security is based in the past. What has yet to unfold are things you can influence. To take a risk reveals your willingness to see potential in what you have not yet seen. Why not benefit from the positive side to your imagination, including what you speculate as meaningful adventures and anticipation about your future?
