I Am Everything I Ever Wanted To Be

I Am Everything I Ever Wanted To Be

Occasionally I'll have a moment where I think an amazing thought that makes me take pause. I do my best to catch and repeat those thoughts so I can remember those thoughts and believe those thoughts, but that's not always possible.

Fortunately, I just had this one as I was setting up my desk to write this very post : )

I came to the realization that I am everything I ever wanted to be. I spent my entire life figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I only recently came to the conclusion that was because what I really wanted was to never grow up.

So many ideas I held for a long period of time have come true. And when I made this recent shift, everything just sorta fell into place. I've been manifesting my entire life and only just truly saw it for what it is. And more importantly, actually manifested the life I always wanted to live in the process.

I Wanted

I wanted to be an inventor, a voice actor, a game designer, I've always thought I'd write a book. Now I am doing all of those things at once. When I wasn't playing video games, I was running around the woods beating up trees with sticks pretending they were dragons. I now do all of these things professionally. I just reverted to being a kid and don't actually have to grow up. Now that's pretty flippin cool!

I still have a long way to go and I can see that. I feel like a kid in a candy store as I start to design the life I want to live. But I acknowledge that it takes discipline and focus over time.

But I just figured out how to play the game of life and I'm only just getting started. I was born in 1988, but I woke up in 2024. I plan on living to 100 so I've still got a long time to keep playing. And that's all I ever really wanted, isn't it?

Life is just this beautiful and magical thing that we get to experience. And the crazy part is that we get to choose how we want to live it. Everything we think and say and do becomes our reality. Our words literally speak things into existence. Everything we have ever known, started as an idea in someone's mind before it came about in the real world.

Our thoughts paint the image of the future, our feelings are the brush strokes on the canvas. The world we live in is the painting.
