I'm so incredibly far away

I have so many things I want to do with my life in my life. I call them my dreams. The things I feel deeply that I’m meant to do. Listening to what my soul tells me, I learn a lot.

I learn that every single thing I desire to do, I’m meant to do. Every single thing that I desire to do, I am doing and/or will do. I have these dreams for a reason. The Universe would not have planted these dreams in me if I didn’t have the potential to live them all.

I trust the Universe, and I love potential.

I am working on and doing some of them now, while others will happen later on. It’s fun to have a variety going on at different times.

People always say to talk to your inner child. Listen to your inner child. Nurture your inner child. Even though I had a normal childhood that was good, I don’t remember who I was as a child, what my dreams were, or what I wanted to do.

I do remember that I’ve always loved Cinderella. I loved that she had animal friends and talked to them. I love that her fairy Godmother gave her magic. I loved that she was always dreaming. I loved her blue dress.

Now, I realize why Cinderella is my favorite, still to this day. It’s because of the enormous, limitless, powerful, and unstoppable hope that she had. There’s hope that I will do all of my dreams in my life. There’s hope that I’m on the right trajectory. There’s hope that the decisions I’m making and actions I’m taking every day are getting me closer to living my dreams.

More importantly than that though is the knowing that I actually enjoy and have fun with the journey. It’s not all about the destination. You reach certain dreams and are actually living them now without even realizing it because you never look back at how far you’ve really come.

Some of the stuff I’m doing now, I only dreamed of before. I don’t take that for granted anymore. I’ve come such a long way, even though I’m so incredibly far away from my dreams.

The journey, the path doesn’t have to be brutal, boring, hard, or feel terrible. If it were any or all of those things, there’s no way that I would probably even want to keep going for my dreams. Keeping it sustainable, fun, exciting, doable, and making it feel good are all how I’m able to keep going towards my dreams.

I break it down into steps and actions I take every day. Some aren’t as fun as others. So, for those, I just ask myself how it will feel to have done it. This is something I’ve learned from Andrea Crowder that helps tremendously + makes so much sense.

If it’s not fun, if I’m not habit stacking while doing it, or if it’s not something that’s a fuck yes for me, I drop it. I cut it out because I would never stay consistent with it any other way, regardless.

It’s hard to even put into words how much lighter, more amazing, and relieved I feel to actually know that none of it has to suck. If I feel that something I’m doing isn’t working but I want it, I lean into my curiosity and get curious about how to make it work.

The bottom line is that I will make it work if I want to. I change something about it, and I keep going.

I’ve changed so much.

Hope. Change. Potential. Desire. All of it is worth feeling, experiencing, and knowing. I’m so glad that they’re all a major part of my life.

When I finally embraced being a dreamer, things improved drastically for me. I am Pisces after all.

Dreams, imagination, and curiosity are the foundations, and they all connect.

My dreams that I’m working on now are my writing, my art, my lifestyle brand + community, Vegan Beauty Power, and my other brand + community, Always Reading Novels and Watching Movies.

My dreams for later are acting, filmmaking, performing as a pianist and composer, and having a smoothie subscription service.

I’ve realized that it’s ok to have dreams to work on now and also dreams to work on later. If you truly have a passion for something, your dream for it will always be there. That’s so beautiful to me. Time is irrelevant.

Being a dreamer and a doer is the combination that really is the most electrifying because when you love something so much, it’s inevitable that you’ll make it happen in your life.

There’s no other way. There’s no other option. You think about it so much that you live it.

So, here’s to being a dreamer + a doer!
