WHO THE HELL LET US GROW UP?

I'm twenty-five years old. I should have my life together...or so I thought. When we were adolescents, if people mentioned adulthood, we automatically assumed the mid-20s equaled life together and easy. Oh, how we were wrong...well for some of us. Some of us were lucky enough to find our place in life and be successful while the rest of us are still trying to decide what we want to be when we grow up.

We ultimately felt as adolescents that reaching thirty would be the equivalent of being old and able to retire. Well, the jokes on us '90s babies...we're an eye blink away from the dirty thirty. Somehow we're farther away from retirement, yet we feel like we've experienced a full life when we haven't even experienced half it.

We're so involved in a rut and mundane lifestyle it feels like there's no stopping the inevitable boring life-long commitment we've built for ourselves.

What if I told you that's far from the truth? I know I sound crazy, and trust me crazy isn't even half of it.

We've programmed our brains to adapt to a mundane way of life only because we haven't tried to go outside of our comfort zone or our so-called safety net. I can't speak for all of us because there's plenty of people who figured out how to get out of that rut and take their life back in an exciting new form.

We need to figure it out too, we're all capable of living a more exciting life. We're all allowed to have a piece of that success and abundance. But how do we do it?

I wish I could give you the answers like that 5-minute article on your Facebook newsfeed on advice to become successful in minutes. But the reality is everyone can follow the advice given and the results may vary per person. Just because Sally over there took the advice from that 5-minute article to start her new sticker business all online and became an overnight sensation, doesn't mean Jimmy across the way reading the same article is going to have the same luck doing the same method Sally did.

The only thing Sally and Jimmy have in common with one another is the fact they read the article and tried to take the advice.

We don't know what it took for Sally to gain such success. It could've been beginner's luck and people enjoyed her stickers. Or she could've worked super hard and did everything she could to advertise her work and gained an audience. Jimmy could've not been as successful because maybe he didn't put in the effort at all. Maybe he thought it was a get-rich-quick scheme and he'd get all the benefits with no work at all. Or he worked super hard and wasn't able to get lucky enough to gain an audience.

Everyone experiences the same things differently. That doesn't mean we can't be successful. It's about the willingness to accept it may not come easy, but it will come to those who envision it.

If you can dream it, you can believe it, and you will achieve it.

I know that sounds like a cliché metaphor from a motivational speaker, and it kind of is. It's a true statement.

Think of it this way:

You probably daydream about the life you want, right? You want to be successful, have a great successful career, make great money, have a wonderful family, live in a nice house while driving a nice car, and not worry about your life or finances.

Maybe you daydream about going on vacation to a place you've never been, or even something simple as acing that finals exam next week.

If you can dream about it, you can believe it'll happen to you.

Let go of the negativity and the "it won't happen for me" or the "nothing good ever happens for me" mentality. Let the belief system you've created with your dreams and let them take hold of your mindset. Let the negativity out and let the positivity in.

I know that sounds hard to always be optimistic and coming from me who has spent quite some time being pessimistic, it is very possible to get past that thought process. Sometimes negativity can consume your mind and that's okay. Just be sure to release it as soon as you can and replace it with your beliefs you've created for yourself and let that positivity back in.

Once you've given yourself time to adjust to your beliefs and allowed the negativity to fade away, it's all a matter of time when your dreams will become your reality.

Now I'm not saying after starting this process you'll wake up tomorrow and all your financial problems will be solved, or that you'll be offered your dream job. What I am saying is you will wake up and be more intuitive on the path you're supposed to take to guide you to the life you are dreaming and believing in. You'll be able to figure out the decisions to make without straining your brain and complexing your thought process about what-ifs and the fear of what could go wrong.

One day you will wake up and you'll have achieved your dream life.

You just have to choose yourself and choose to want to achieve all you've ever wanted. Nothing is stopping you except yourself.

Let's take that journey together and see what kind of results we can all obtain.

Are you ready?
