@nomadveronica: Replying to @starfiresage The "if you would just..." pattern reveals you're outsourcing responsibility for your dreams to people who have no obligation or ability to make them happen for you. If you would just give me money, I could move abroad. If you would just tell me exactly what to do, I'd do it. If you would just convince my partner, we'd relocate. If you would just guarantee it'll work out, I'd start. All variations of: someone else needs to remove obstacles before I'll act. Which means you're waiting for someone else to change your life instead of changing it yourself. That's not strategy. That's abdication of agency disguised as external barriers. The stranger on internet you're asking to solve your problems: doesn't know your situation, can't give you money, can't convince your partner, can't guarantee outcomes, has no power to remove your obstacles. So asking them to do these things isn't a genuine request for help. It's performance of helplessness that lets you stay stuck while blaming external factors. If moving abroad actually mattered enough, you'd: figure out how to generate money yourself, have hard conversation with partner yourself, take action despite uncertainty yourself, solve your own obstacles because your dream depends on it. But that's uncomfortable. Requires confronting that you're choosing not to act, not being prevented from acting. Easier to point to external barrier and say "see, can't do it until stranger removes this for me." Nobody's coming to save you. Nobody's giving you money. Nobody's doing hard conversations for you. Nobody's removing uncertainty so you can proceed comfortably. Nobody's making it easy. Your life changes when you decide to change it and do uncomfortable things required to make that happen. Not when perfect conditions align. Not when stranger helps. Not when obstacles disappear. The people who relocate internationally don't have fewer obstacles. They just stopped waiting for someone else to remove obstacles and started solving them. Money obstacle? Generated income or cut expenses drastically. Partner obstacle? Had hard conversation and found compromise or made hard choice. Uncertainty obstacle? Moved forward despite not knowing how everything would work out. None of those required stranger's intervention. All required taking responsibility for own dreams instead of outsourcing that to people who can't and won't do it for you. Link in bio for people done outsourcing their dreams and ready to take control. What are you waiting for someone else to do for you? 🆘🇺🇸
