I Wish I Knew You Wanted Me

This article was originally published on Medium.

Day after day you open your eyes and dream while still in motion.

You encourage everyone else. You take pride in completing the “mundane” daily tasks while everything you’ve ever wanted continues to nudge you through songs, messages, ideas, social media posts, and reshares. Your destiny is calling…oh.

Your fear has your reality set to DnD.

You’ve met with coaches of all kinds. One for your spiritual advancement, one for maintaining your weight, one for your business, and even one for the love life you hope to soon cultivate. You've sat with all your homies on your accountability Zoom calls week after week, month after month. You’re still clutching your pearls. Still holding back.

Why?

Chasing bags that have those eluding butterfly wings.

This only causes one to end up more frustrated. Biting your tongue, enrolling in courses you never finish or material you never truly utilize to maximize your fullest and most sought-after dream.

Questions to ponder

Why don't you advocate for yourself and your dreams? Why is it so difficult to show up for yourself the same way that you show up for others? Why do we doubt our abilities within ourselves? Why is it so hard to believe in our gifts the way we believe in others using theirs?

We have been programmed to believe that we don't have any power. And you know what? That's what happens. This is why I am writing this. To remind you of your greatness. No matter who else sees it in you, if you don't see it--then it won't ever manifest to its maximum capacity.

Your dreams are waiting for you.

You are the missing link you were looking for. You are the star in the role of your life, and everything else is just responding to how you choose to show up. How will you change how you show up? What has to be different in order for your life to change?

For you.

For your new life.

For the life that is currently unfolding right before your eyes.

Your relationship with yourself is the most important and longstanding one you'll ever have in this lifetime. You are stuck with you from your beginning until your end. It's up to you to make your life unfold just like the dreams you have every night.

Love is life, and everything is EVERYTHING.

Sometimes I don’t think we always grasp how powerful that is. Every way that we strive to pour into things without regard for the love of them (in essence) and the reverence of them being vessels to aid the transformational reality shift that has the propensity to propel us to our highest, greatest good.

Peep game.

What you desire, desires you. The difference between where you are and what you want is energetic alignment. In order to move to the next level, you have to align yourself to shift to a newer dimension. You have free will to choose them, the new realities that you so desire. And in return, once you have chosen them, they have also chosen you as well. The work of transforming is rarely ever easy, but it’s the journey that makes it all worth the while.

What will you choose?

Will you choose your dreams and desires, or will you continue to just sit on them?

Inspiration

Use what you have around you to inspire you to create the reality you've been longing for. Good music and a piping hot glass of herbal tea all help me get in the mood for creating content like what you are reading.

What helps you?

How will you know or realize what that is for you?

Experiment. Try it out for yourself.
