We all start from different places.
We all have different opportunities.
But today, we also have access.
To all these different lifestyles.
To information.
We can observe, learn, and choose.
I\u2019ve always wondered
what is it about me that\u2019s so special?
That despite the struggles,\u00a0
I keep moving forward.
Despite the challenges,\u00a0
I actually really love my life.
I\u2019ve always had the courage to dream.
To visualize the life I want.
My two favorite quotes in this area are:
\u201cFake it until it becomes part of your life,\u201d<\/strong>
and
\u201cMaybe your fear is bigger than your dream.\u201d
<\/strong>I no longer remember who said them,
But both speak on a much deeper level.
That it\u2019s about\u00a0BECOMING<\/strong>, not HAVING.
What you have can change.
But why is it that some people,
even when they lose everything,
can start over or build something completely new?
Because they\u00a0are<\/strong>\u00a0that.
That\u2019s their frequency.
They vibrate with this strong belief\u00a0
that they\u2019ll always find a way.
Such a powerful belief\u2026
There\u2019s immense strength in our subconscious beliefs.
Fear, on the other hand, takes so much from us.
When it\u2019s tied to a strong belief like
\u201cI always end up in hole,\u201d
\u201cThings never work out for me,\u201d
\u201cI\u2019m just always unlucky,\u201d
it becomes the driving force\u00a0
that brings that hole into our path,
leaves us stuck in a ditch,\u00a0
or keeps us from even leaving the house.

Our Journey will never be perfect.
Sometimes it\u2019s bumpy.
Sometimes, yes, we do hit that hole.
But so what?
We keep going.
Because there\u2019s somewhere we want to arrive on our map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We are the ones who define our reach and potential.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We are the ones who create the maps of our dreams.<\/strong>
And that\u2019s something I\u2019ve always been brilliant at.
When I dream, I\u00a0dream fully.
I visualize it with every fiber of my being.
I visualize it with my whole heart.
A hundred years ago (okay, not quite),\u00a0
I took a weekend course in international trade,\u00a0
funded by the EU.
One of the sessions was on motivation.\u00a0
The instructor asked us:
\u201cIf there were no limits, no boundaries,\u00a0<\/strong>
what kind of life would you want in 5 years?\u201d<\/strong>
Wow, I thought.
And I started writing.
I let my mind go free\u00a0
and turned on my heart.
After 20 minutes, people started reading their visions,
whoever wanted to, proud of their desires.
I heard about a raise of 300 euro,\u00a0
a higher positions, a nicer car…
And then it was my turn.
I paused.
Should I really read what came out of me?
At the time, my mom was dying.
My life was completely falling apart.
But that one question cracked my heart wide open.
I filled four pages\u00a0A4 describing my dream life.
I wrote about my mornings.
Waking up with my husband, drinking coffee, his arms around me, his kiss.
Our children laughing, jumping on our bed.
Me making breakfast. All of us getting ready together.
I described the atmosphere,
warmth, the ease, the freedom in the air.
I wrote about having my own business, my office close to home so I wouldn\u2019t waste time in traffic.
I wrote about the joy and satisfaction\u00a0I feel in the work I do and about being proud of what I earn, even the amount felt \u201ctoo big\u201d to say out loud.
I wrote about living a life
that I\u2019d be\u00a0in love with<\/em>.
Every single day.
Even now, writing this, I feel tears coming\u2026
Because, as I mentioned,\u00a0
I was in a really dark place back then.
But here\u2019s the thing:
Today, even when life shakes and wobbles,
I\u2019m in love with my life.
Every. Single. Day.<\/strong>
The conclusion is this:
We are the ones who draw the map of our lives.
We are the ones who create our reach and our possibilities.<\/strong>
Even if only\u00a0half<\/em>\u00a0comes true.
Blow the fear away.
That heavy rationalism that tells you\u00a0
to stay small and gray until you die.
Life is a road \u2013 it\u2019ll shake anyway.
Life is life \u2013 things will fall apart.
You will fall apart, more than once.
But!<\/strong> If even half of it came true,
Wouldn\u2019t be jumping for joy?
If\u00a0just\u00a0<\/em>1\/10 of your wild, limitless dreams actually happened,
wouldn\u2019t you be grateful to the universe?
You can start right at home.
Go to sleep with that plan in your heart:

\u201cShow me, Life,<\/strong> How I can make this real.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And then go.
Open the windows.
Invite the winds of change.
Awaken your curiosity.
Smile at yourself.
And enjoy the ride.\u00a0\ud83c\udf2c\ufe0f\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
