Before making Fantasy a Reality

Fantasy and reality are not always the same thing. Think back to the first time you fell in love. The fantasy is everything is so perfect. The birds are singing, butterflies fluttering, your heart is pounding, then real life happens. Reality versus fantasy does not always align. There are steps to help you achieve a more perfect reality.

Before jumping into any new endeavor, THINK. Going into any new venture in life needs some forethought. Figure out what you truly want and what steps you need to make before leaping in. Time to delve deep into your own psyche and figure out what drives you. Investing time in self-exploration is the most important step.

Chart the plan of action. What will you need? What do you need to learn? Education is fundamental and always ongoing. List all steps and items. Figure out how you can obtain all that you need. Some flexibility will be important. Perfection rarely happens, so being able to adapt is important.

Start working towards your goal. Educate yourself. Acquire the needed items or skills. For example, I plan to start attending local rope classes to learn Shibari. I want to add that to my skill set. A sub might purchase polish, polish remover, and cotton balls to practice painting fingernails. Being able to paint one's Dominant's nails well is a desirable skill. The more knowledge and skills we acquire, the better we are as people and better the chances of achieving our ultimate fantasy goal. Bring fantasy to reality.
