Fantasizing about the future, while still dealing with reality

We all remember that one question in high school “Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years". Now I'm here 10 years later, and almost everything I've ever fantasized about has happened. I often questioned whether I was the only one who was going through life's trials and still dreaming of all the things I wanted. While doing a bunch of research I realized that I'm not! There are so many people in their 30s 40’s and 50’s still working jobs they hate while fantasizing about the future that they wish to have someday.

Oh, I also know many people including myself who have dreams but are at places in life where we don't want to be. The truth is, all of this is preparing us for our future. That baby you want to have will come when it's meant to come. That lifestyle you want to have is on its way. That trip you are dreaming of taking will happen one day. Please don't stop fantasizing, it makes life fun and you don't feel like all you are doing all of this for absolutely nothing.

“Where there's a vision, there's a plan.”

I remember moments when I fantasized about having my license, driving my car, moving into my own place, having a relationship with my sister, being in a happy space, finding my mom, and getting my GED . While everything on this screamed impossible due to life's circumstances, my vision stayed alive. These were all things I dreamed of and they happened, maybe not overnight but it happened! Not to mention I was still dealing with reality but I didn't let go of those dreams. I continued to envision what I wanted out of life. Whatever you are fantasizing about will happen, I know because it did for me. Also, remember to be grateful for what you currently have.

I hope this blog encourages you to keep dreaming, even though you're dealing with reality because your dreams will come true.

Holding yourself Accountable & Letting It Go!

Are you going through some s***? Me too! I hope you are holding yourself accountable but also letting the past go! Holding yourself accountable gives you an opportunity to reflect on what you did wrong so you won't make the same mistake twice. Letting it go is important for your mental health! Definition ( Accountability): Accountability is the acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions. Benefits of ( Letting Go): Letting go can improve your overall health and prevent long-term health problems. Holding on to things can cause stress and stress can put us at risk for heart disease and other health issues. Omg, y'all! Things have been super rocky in my personal life lately. A few times I wanted to say f*** it and hide under a rock but I was reminded that no matter what life throws at me I caused on myself. The conversation stopped being "Why me?" & it became "How do I fix this?". My Experience: I got tired of blaming others for why I went...

Please don’t take life to serious!

I know we’ve all heard someone say “ Life is not a game ”. I am here with a unpopular opinion. “ Please don’t take life to serious ”. If you are stressing over financial problems, relationship breakup, difficulties at work or school, injury or illness. You are making things harder for yourself and the healing process. Maybe you are going through a hard time financially, you are going through a breakup, maybe a health scare or family drama. We all know we go through things so why must we make things more difficult than what they are? By having your everyday life issues at the top of your mind how will it help you? I’m not saying to ignore life’s issues but at-least make the best out of them because it’s only temporary. We are all human and we have our moments of uncertainty, moments of weakness and moments we need to heal etc but why not try to still live a fulfilling life despite what’s going on? I believe going through difficult moments and finding ways to keep you ...

Becoming Someone Different - Aligning with your Future Self

Are you becoming who you desire to be or are you stuck? I think this is the most challenging thing to ask. It is important to get clear on what you want so that you don't fall into the trap of becoming what you don't want to be! Everything we say we want must align with the decisions we make. REALITY CHECK. You want to lose weight -> Did you change your diet? You want to save money -> Did you create a savings plan? You want a healthy relationship -> Are you actively working on yourself? It's okay to want to become someone different, better, positive, optimistic etc. Whatever you want to become you are only one decision away from becoming! Is everything you want aligning with your actions? If you answered NO, you are doing it all wrong. I know we often talk about manifesting but manifesting will not work if we don't put actions behind the things we say we want. We are in NOVEMBER, I challenge you to say “NO” to the things that no longer align with what you wa...
