Do you agree?

It used to be my life motto. Although, I don’t agree with this any longer.

I wish I was a pilot. Will I ever be one? No. No matter how strong my belief is, I will never be a pilot. And that’s is true.

Action is needed.

Ok. Then tell me what actions do I need to take in order to be a pilot? With a diagnose of paranoid schizophrenia?

Here is a type of flying you can do without an FAA medical. All you need is a drivers license

I plan to buy or build a light sport airplane soon.

I’m going to say some people are living their dreams. As for me, my illness has kept me from even keeping part-time employment. It was there it just needed a trigger.

I don’t have a “permission” from my psychiatrist to take driving license classes. According to my psychiatrist, I’m still unstable.

Increase your meds and get a drivers license. I am a paranoid schizophrenic and I drive every day. I used to be a commercial pilot. I still have my license. Just can’t get a medical anymore.

I’d like to believe it but it will take a long time though to be honest. But who has the time? I’ll be turning 50 in a couple of days I’ve reached an milestone as I reflect on my life and time is awasting. And I don’t have that drive as when I was younger. I guess I’m settling. It took me about 13 years to get an Associates Degree this half of my life I’ll just read when I can on subjects ts that interests me. That keeps my mind working and regenerating. And get enough sleep so that I can be alert to things that has impact and get enough exercise to keep the blood flowing circulation to my brain. And try to eat healthy because it effects my mental clarity. But i digress I have to make goals for myself otherwise I’ve got nothing to look forward to. I take it one day at a time. That’s good enough for me. I guess.
