Taoist way of pursuing dreams

Hello so i recently started reading on taoism out of curiosity and it felt so beautiful to me, i readed (Tao the watercourse way - Alan Watts) and i loved everything, it was my introduction to this way of life but some things i dont really understand how are applied in life.

Id consider myself a pretty ambitious person and i dont know how to approach my dreams in a taoist way of life, but im trying to live in this calmness that i recive when reading about taoism. I dont really understand how wu wei and no action applies to pursuing a dream, should you give up or surrender to your dreams, can someone help me?

Sorry if its not very well written im from europe

Im so fed up

I enjoy skating but i have been skating for like almost a year now and i still cant do one trick.
I have fun skating but it gets to a point man, i cruise to a empty plaza almost every day where i try to learn to ollie, ive seen all the fucking tutorials and only manage to get some shitty stationary ollies and see no progress at all.
Anyone else in this situation? How do you cope with it

Why did bushings break

I waxed the metal parts a little bit since the trucks made a lot of squeaking noise, idk if it was that made them break or i squeezed them too hard, but it made the trucks assymetrical and its hard to skate

Is Solitude My Ultimate Fate?

I have not yet completed my nineteenth cycle of reincarnation. Despite this, unlike the elders of my small conclave, I have felt no fascination toward witches over these past centuries. I do not consider myself a fully consecrated mage, as I also serve with devotion as a paladin during my hours of vigil. On several occasions, dark enchantresses have attempted to bend me to their will with baneful arts, yet I have discovered an innate immunity against their submissive chants.

I remain unaffected by the modern incantations of worldly ideologies. I admit I am drawn to the mystic features of witches and druidesses, yet I lack the motivation to entwine my destiny in an eternal bond with a companion who will never respect my rank.

It is disheartening to contemplate the endless cycle of transmigrating souls without a single warding spell or protective hex of support, be it from a witch or a fellow wizard. My brotherhood is about to embark on new crusades to distant planes that do not interest me, leaving me alone with my grimoire.

Is it truly natural to lack the impulse to forge a sacred alliance with a witch or a druidess? It feels like a futile endeavor, considering that practitioners of the dark arts always find a way to curse us, whether we walk the path of a wizard, a paladin, or a knight.
