It Gets To Be Me

I’ve been trying this new thing lately. 

It sparked my brain in a new way a week ago. 

Something that I have thought of throughout my life- but never quite got to stick. 

I was thinking about dreams. 

Manifesting. 

Energy. 

And everything that I know about them. 

I Breealized that every time I thought about a dream coming true, I pictured something different about myself or my life. 

I didn’t see it happening right now. 

I saw a version of myself I didn’t know achieving all these dreams. 

I felt myself acknowledge the truth in that. 

And then I felt it wash it away. 

Replacing it with thoughts of who I would become and telling myself that it’s all the same. 

But I didn’t really believe that. 

I didn’t see myself doing any of the things that I was dreaming of when I saw myself in the mirror. 

When I looked in the mirror, I saw a person that still has a long way to go. 

I was stuck in conflicting loops of doubt. 

Sometimes I believed, but most of the time – I believed I had to be another version of myself to make it all happen. 

My belief made that true, whether I wanted it to be or not. 

I started thinking about the way I dream, and I thought to myself…

What happens if I get intentional here? 

What happens if I connect my dreams to this version of me that I am right now? 

Will time collapse? 

Will the dreams appear faster? 

Will it cause more motivation? 

Will it surprise me? 

Will it enhance my mindset? 

Will it really change anything? 

I listened internally and found that this way of thinking was enough to have me excited. 

I wanted to know. 

I wanted to try. 

So here I am, experimenting once again, in new territory.

Instead of picturing some future version of myself living the life I dream about, I am practicing seeing her as me. 

Right now. 

With this face. 

This body. 

This voice. 

This life. 

This version of me. 

I don’t have to become her before I can believe that her life belongs to me. 

Maybe part of becoming her is finally believing that I already am. 

Reflection Questions

• When you picture your biggest dreams coming true, what do you see? 
• Does that person actually look and feel like you are right now? 
• What do you believe has to change about you before you can have the life you’re imagining? 
• What would happen if you stopped giving yourself your dreams to a future version of yourself–and started seeing them as yours now?
