Make The Decision To Change Your Life And Create Your Dreams

I was out here in this beautiful setting riding around on a scooter. We stopped for lunch and as we were talking about our future hopes and dreams, I kept recalling so many emails about these same topics. So after Katie convinced me to take a quick moment and write this out on my phone I wanted to share a quick thought with you. I guess it was something I needed to stop and say.

I keep hearing over and over how I don’t understand. Without getting into details I can assure you I have been through a lot in my life. Dealing with weight, image, eating disorders, loss and severe financial and family issues. Even in times like today, having cars repossessed, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and even a lawsuit, I still learned from my parents to give to others, always serve first. If you put others first you will always be taken care of. This last Christmas we had no gifts we used what money we had to give to others who needed it more then we did.

I quit my job during all this because I did not like it. My passion was not there, so going through the motions was only going to cause me unhappiness and therefore only bring me more of the same. I had a small online business some of us started and although at the time doing very well I also hatted it. So after spending a couple thousand dollars having a new store designed and implemented, I shut it down. I built some new things that were fun.

I slept in my truck and went on the road to speak, write, and meet people. I did whatever I wanted to and was working towards my passion. Let’s just say today, everything is breaking wide open. I don’t have to worry about money which I never should have because the more I don’t worry about it the more that comes in. I give more everyday to others, I do what I want when I want. I travel, have been asked to be involved in amazing projects. I have had the opportunity to work with some of my favorite actors and musicians.

I have been with some truly amazing individuals including my friend today who is a dreamer. She is with me for who I am and for how I treat others and treat her. My point is that yes, I understand what you are going through, however, it’s how you react and let it affect you. I used to work my butt off consumed with not letting down all those looking to me to provide for them. All I did was cause misery, gain weight, lose my passion and make less money.

People love to be around me because of how I make them feel. They love my dream-infused life and outlook. However, for the regular 9-5 folks who see me as nothing more than a non-college graduate loser because my life is not what they see as correct I can not change their mind nor should I try. I got criticized when things were REALLY tough for not stopping my dreaming and go get a real job and do the right thing. Go work and be a real man and take care of your family. Well, I did that in the past and it wasn’t right for me. Instead I went even deeper into my own world until it became my reality.

So, when people say I live in a fantasy world, I’m UN-reasonable, and I live a lucky or charmed life I smile and agree, because yes, I do, because I created it and so can you. I feel much better, ok were off before the flying rats, or tourists call seagulls crap on my scooter.
