about my life, my likes, my aspirations.
I so like to travel. Itâs more than the green grass feeling. Itâs the somethingâs there I need to see before I die feeling. Can I possibly live a full life in one place? Can I have life, a full life moving all over the place like I do?
I need more life, more lifes, more lifetimes, more life times, more time, more times.
I want a chance to be Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa, Betty Crocker and Tom Peters. I want to be Donald Trump and Princess Diana. I want go live in a cabin off the land. I want to live by the beach and sleep on the sand. I want to live with every one of my friends. I want to live in another country in a tiny village and ride a bike everywhere I go. I want to be a gardener, a gymnast, a piano player, a mathematician, a poet. I want to direct music videos.
I want to sleep in a king-sized bed with a seatbelt on an airplane.
I want to live in the highest, highrise in the biggest, busiest city. I want to be a recluse and reflect on deep, long thought with lovely music playing while I drink hot chocolate and write. I want to have a personal shopper, a driver, and a minder. I want to follow my own path and walk off into the sunset and never have to worry about good byes.
I want to be simple and complex. I want to be open and mysterious. I want to be a grownup and a child.
Iâm just like everyone else I guess.
Nicely put, Liz. We are all like that. The trouble is that if we want to be successful we have to deny that part of ourselves, to define one area and focus our energy on that. Otherwise we may well need several lifetimes to accomplish it all. Sometimes the things we want are contradictory, just as in your examples. There’s nothing wrong with wishing for all sorts – dreaming is an essential part of success, IMHO. It’s important to identify which dreams we actively pursue, I suppose.
Thanks for a great post.
I don’t want to be Donald Trump, but I sure wouldn’t mind to be mentored by him even just for a day.
Sometimes I have conflicting ideals too…but on this I’m absolutely certain: One day I will live in a nice cabin on a lake.
Except for the directing music videos, yes.
I’m trying to make it to where I quit saying “I wish” and I say “Remember when?” 🙂
I think you’re definitely correct. There tends to be conflicting desire within ourselves. I think Ash is correct in deciding which desires–of all of the one that we have–that we actually want to invest time and effort into accomplishing. Either way, fabulous post.
Well said! We are all like that aren’t we? To do it all tangibly, would be an accomplishment just from a financial view point. To BE it all, is the true gift of the mind. You see, we are but one person, the same person. Last night I spoke to about 1000 folks, about the meaning of consciousness, the levels, and the reality of limitations it puts on our travels abroad, and green we grow and pass through like aqua. If it’s real to you, then god damn it it’s real than isn’t it? We are our realities, we are our heavens, our hells. If you think it, then it happens! Somewhere, in multidimensional consciousness it’s alive! Don’t believe, no hope,no wishes, just do. Just be.
