You keep waiting.
You keep numbing.
You keep comparing.
And that’s why nothing changes.

I’m Done Waiting — Let’s Go

This book is not another lecture. It’s a mirror. It shows you the quiet ways you betray yourself every day, and how to finally step out of your own shadow.

Later never comes

Waiting feels safe, but it quietly steals your life. The moment you act, even imperfectly, everything starts to move again.

Padlock icon symbolising how comfort can feel safe but slowly keeps you trapped from living fully.

Comfort is your cage

Comfort whispers that you are fine, but it slowly dulls your fire. Aliveness begins when you choose honesty over ease.

Yin and yang symbol showing the balance lost through comparison and the peace found in returning to your own path. How (Not To) Begin Your Dream Life.

Comparison is poison

Comparison blurs your vision until you forget who you are. The moment you turn inward, your own path becomes clear again.

About The Author

Lars Brunnhoff

I am Lars, a writer, creator, and the guy behind DreamTalks 🌿 A few years ago I chose to leave the safe path and start shaping life on my own terms. It has not always been easy. I failed, started over, and kept learning. But along the way I discovered something powerful: small steps, honesty, and presence can change everything.

Through my workbooks and guides I want to share what helped me move forward and show that you do not need to wait for the perfect moment. You can begin right where you are.

These days you will find me between Amsterdam and Düsseldorf, often writing from my little boat, meeting people with big dreams, and creating tools to help others get unstuck and take action.

It’s More Than a Book — It’s a Wake-Up Call

Reading this workbook felt like having an honest conversation with a friend. I loved how short and clear the chapters were, and the journal prompts really made me think about the excuses I use every day. It gave me the push to actually start something I’ve been putting off. Highly recommend if you need motivation to begin.👏✨️
