This post might be funny to look back on later as the first one relating my new crazy ideas. I’m already predicting the future, so welcome to my life.
This is what I have done the past week. Predicting the next possible development of my life, beginning now and thinking through every next step until I am too old to imagine for me at the moment (so, around 50 maybe. I can’t picture myself older than that. And that is already a huge improvement! Half a year ago my imagination stopped at 22, if at all!).
Who knows if my life will take that course? It is one of far too many options, but the first one that includes almost all of them – and a hundred new ones on top!
The thing is: why not?
Who dictates that I have to take only ONE path? Ideally one that has been taken by thousands before me (that number was far too small)…
I can be a traveller, a horse trainer and therapist, a musician, a journalist and writer and technically all of them at the same time!
Or maybe partially and consecutively. The day only has 24 hours…
I could also create my own profession! I wouldn’t be the first one to do that – but at the same time I also would.
It’s so funny how I can imagine that once I’m „there“, I will look back to me now, only getting these ideas and tasting them and even doubting their reality. I have done this so many times now, looking back to the previous me, tasting and doubting the idea of going to Norway this year.
And now I’m here and it’s both totally different to what I expected and at the same time exactly that.
The difference now is that the „past“ me (looking into the future again) is aware of future me looking back, so I wonder what that will be like when the future actually comes around.
Alright, enough confusion.
I don’t want to share the details of the idea just yet because it is crazy. But we have learned that these kinds of crazy things are the ones on has to do. And I guess that is the only incentive I need. So let’s go!
The takeaway of this post should be: whatever crazy idea you have – if it ignites something in you, do it! The wish to do something is literally the only requirement needed. If you want something, really and deeply want it, all excuses and reasons you find are irrelevant. I promise. Even if fear or money issues or time or whatever seem stronger. They only seem limiting in your head, and once you learn to see around that you will find out that literally EVERYTHING is possible if you set your mind and will to it.
Look at all the people who truly inspire you. Who achieved something close to what you dream of. If they can do it, so can you – because what they have done in order to get there is no more that what you have to do in you next step:
Get over you fears and limiting thoughts.
What I have learned: I have to learn what everyone else has to learn one way or another, my deep, true wishes are the only thing that count
(this is not in relation to lack of empathy because I believe that deep wishes by nature aren’t ill-willed towards others)
What I’m grateful for: being crazy and being a dreamer because this is what helps me achieve unlikely things (predicting the future again)
