What we are made of

I have a dream, and this dream is troubling me as i have deviated from its realization. I need to get back on track, and yet there are so many niceties that I have rendered that's holding me back. Sometimes, I read, there has to come a point in someone's life that he just screws everything else and goes purely for what he wants, what he believes in. That time draws near. It is imminent. How? How now?
