Everyone wants to live a dream life or have a perfect day, but most people don't even know what that perfect day would even begin to look like. I used to be in that very same position, but I have worked hard to envision what I wanted and finally have my perfect day lined up and ready to be accomplished.
Only 55 days left until we are in beautiful Costa Rica! What a way to kick of our travels, 3 months on the beautiful coastlines of south america sucking up the sun and enjoying the peacefulness of the ocean waves crashing on the shoreline outside our house. What a truly amazing life it has turned out to be.
I can't believe that it was only one short year ago that I was lost in this crazy world. I had no dreams, no goals and no ambition in life except to grow weed and not work for "the man." Sure it wasn't terrible, but I knew it definitely wasn't what I wanted out of life either, I knew there was so much more to living. I had to change.
I realized if I didn't have a dream of a perfect day, then I could never truly have a "perfect day." It wasn't like the universe was going to drop that day in my lap unexpectedly, I had to dream it up, decide what I wanted my future to look like.
When I started trying to figure out what my perfect day was I quickly realized I didn't even know what truly made me happy. Sure getting high or drunk was fun, going boating or 4 wheeling was cool, and playing video games and watching tv was always easy and conveniently appeasing, but I had no idea what really made me happy and what I wanted out of life. I just went through the motions of life like everyone else, assuming that one day the universe would just drop the best day of my life in my lap. That's sad.
show me a person who assumes and I will show you a person who is disappointed almost daily.
If you don't know what you want you will never get it, it's that simple! So I decided to dream up my perfect day, then make goals to get closer to it every day. It wasn't easy, it was definitely a journey to learn who I was as a person and what I was willing to do to make my life better. But along the way I learned that
the fruit of everything good in life, comes from a challenge.
Ever since I was a child I had always dreamed of living ocean side, so that is where my perfect day starts. I could wake up while the air was still cool and crisp, the ocean breeze blowing across the beach and the moon still reflecting off the water. I appreciate time alone in the early mornings to be thankful, grateful and to meditate. I would make time to enjoying the sunrises every morning, then take a walk on the beach with my soulmate and dogs to start the day off right.
Surfing would be next, catching some waves for a good work out first thing in the morning is way better than lifting weights or running ;) From there it would be fresh picked fruit for breakfast, then some reading and maybe a nap, because why not right?!? It's my dream and I can make it as big as I want. lol.
Another walk in the late afternoon would definitely be an option as I don't like to lay around to much. Maybe to visit local markets or shops in the town while we are out and about.
After a long day we would enjoy the sunset together, a perfect way to end a perfect day.
Lastly we would enjoy the stars for a while just before laying in bed, listening to the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the beach as we fall sleep peacefully.
That is my perfect day. Doesn't that sound great?! Well, in 55 days that dream day will be mine! And the good news is, if I can do it then anyone can!
Don't sit back and let life pass you by, grab the bull by the horns and enjoy this life because it might be easier to live your dream life than you think. But you gotta start somewhere, so it might as well be today! Be grateful for being alive and follow your dreams. Anything is possible!
So tell me, what is your perfect day? What is your dream life? How do you plan on accomplishing it? What's stopping you from getting it?
DREAM BIG
"Peace, love and all that hippie shit"
