This is the time for grand plans. Small plans take care of themselves. In fact, the year will take care of itself, if we just sit back. Grand plans need some insight and foresight.
We all have big things we’d like to do sometime in the future. Travel to Africa. Find a new career. Take painting classes. For me, like I mentioned a couple of days ago, it’s produce the play, finish the book, make a short film, take a relaxing vacation.
Nice start. But before I move forward, I need to really stretch the ideas. Reality has a way of encroaching on grand goals. But reality doesn’t have to encroach on the ideas. Thinking big doesn’t cost anything. Sometimes you have to go too far if you’re going to find out where the border is.
Produce the play? How about produce the play in ten cities? How about produce the play myself next month? How about recruit Lindsay Lohann to play the lead? She’s probably available.
Short film? How about feature? How about show the film? Have a fabulous screening party, invite everyone I know.
Vacation? How about take three months off? How about stranding myself on an island? How about getting a full massage every day of the vacation?
These aren’t necessarily reasonable ideas, but this isn’t execution time, this is idea time. I need to make sure I’ve made plenty of room for reality.
