Hitching onto realities

 I met a man who lived in Costa Rica for 4 years. I had just been there and loved it so much so we got to talking. We both shared parts of our lives but I soon noticed, like I do with many people I admire–I begin to think of him as god and his words as gospel. I detach from my own sense of reality and goals and listen intensely to theirs.  There's a shame in pursuing what you believe and trusting your gut. Often you don't want to tell people. What else can you do but reflect and continue your pursuit? Nothing.

A book that's been circulated throughout males of my age group (22-25) and perhaps younger as well is Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. The main theme being that you should chase the next "thing" or "greenlight" in your life. If you've been wanting to move and suddenly find an opportunity then do it and don't look back. 

I think it's shaped how a lot of people see the world including myself. Lately, I've been in a sort of limbo, having moved but now stuck at a job I don't really feel for. Theres the opportunity to become an EMT and I've been procrastinating on it. Day and night I go back and forth on wether or not it's the right thing to do and I think I just need to do it. It's my current "greenlight" so why not take it and see what comes out of it?

From real estate I've been learning better interpersonal communication, from this I'll learn how to save lives and work under pressure. 

Worse case is I don't like it and I can find my next greenlight.
