It’s time to kick Monday’s ass…
It’s funny sometimes, the ideas we get in our heads about “the way things are”.
I put that last bit in quotes because I’m fond of another, related quote: your reality isn’t real.
Have you ever thought about the different choices and experiences someone might have had to go through in order to get to their seemingly perfect life? How those choices and experiences might differ from your own?
I know growing up, we were struggling. It was a single-mom-with-three-kids scenario and it wasn’t always easy. To this day, macaroni and cheese with cut up sausage is a comfort dish. Don’t judge.
That little Angie, living in that little house in rural Texas, wasn’t even AWARE of someone living in say… upstate New York, with an estate with landscapers and an in-house chef who’d Exorcist barf at the thought of mac-n-cheese-with-hot-dogs.
Those are two completely different realities. And until I meet (and get to know someone) with a different reality from mine, I have absolutely no concept of what it takes to get from where I am to where they are (if I want that in the first place). Their whole life seems LITERALLY unreal to me without that context.
So that’s my challenge to you this week… if there’s a dream you’ve had that feels like an impossibility (or even a pipe dream) – find someone who’s done it. See just how real that reality can be… because I bet once you see it’s possible, you’ll be able to figure out how to reverse engineer it for yourself.
That brings us to this week’s video…
