What’s up fool,
I feel like I’ve understood this before but never known it as I do now.
Every time we give into our default mode, we move backwards in life. I trusted my imagination since youth. I trusted it over everything- and I fully believed what I was feeling was “truth.”
If you’re still here, this is what is holding you back.
My delusions of success- the vision of me doing all these random, seemingly fun things, none of it was an actual option. Not because I can’t have fun or succeed, but because this didn’t come from an authentic place.
These things weren’t my passion, I didn’t enjoy learning about them or doing it in my spare time, yet my mind enjoyed holding onto a world where I lived that life.
Because that life was so beyond my present, I felt crushed by my own smallness in comparison.
But time moves on, and so did I.
As I began to slowly accept reality, the possibility that this dream movie star life isn’t for me, I opened up to real options.
I learned about myself, and what would be good for me. I found an ideal to strive for and most important of all- I had finally seen beyond my psychological filter.
I could see the truth.
What saved me was practicality.
When I considered my own nature, my strengths and weaknesses, quirks, desires, interests, only then could I start to build a life that suited me.
I’ll tell you this, I’ve never felt more fulfilled than I do right now. The reason for this is simple, my life is an extension of who I am- and that’s not an automatic process.
I chased ecstasy only to realize it’s an attitude and way of life- not some random accomplishment.
You have to earn this.
You have to build it.
If you can move away from wonderland- you’ll find reality far more interesting.
