Going to leave you with this tonight:
The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cates, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
you owe it to yourself to go after your dreams. you don't want them imprisoned in your mind, where they gnaw at you, distract you, weigh you down, and constantly tell you you're "wasting your potential" by not going for them. set them free. try them. that's the only way to truly know if they'll work or not.
