Once upon a time you forgot who you are

Free of limitations. An endless supply of inspiration, excitement and adventure.

Once upon a time, you could just as easily imagine yourself as the fairy princess, the damsel in distress or the courageous hero. You could grow up to be a fireman, a teacher, an astronaut, a scientist, a marine biologist, an actor or a painter.

Once upon a time it was you who came up with the stories. You decided how they started and ended. You had the power to create happy endings, even if you kept yourself on the edge of your seat right until the moment the monster finally fell.

And then time continued, life slowly transformed from playground to battleground.

Limitless potential was replaced with endless responsibilities.

Exhilaration became exhaustion. And imagination became fantasy.

Became...

“Be realistic.”

“Get your head out of the clouds!”

“Life doesn’t work that way.”

The one being silly, with unrealistic expectations. That you were the thing that needed to be fixed.

As these beliefs took root, you started to forget.

Forget the dreams you had for yourself.

Forget the hunger for adventure you once had.

Forget the sense of potential you felt for your life.

You were trained into forgetting the truth about yourself:

That life was meant to be your playground and the creativity inside you is an actual magical power that can bend reality at will.

That whatever sense of “bigness” you felt your life was supposed to represent, was actually calling - a mission - you’re here to manifest... not a delusion of grandeur or a misguided ego-led desire.

As you read these words, do you feel something stirring inside of you?

Consider this confirmation.

Deep down, you do remember. And you were drawn to this very piece of writing because a part of you is trying to wake you up.

To shake you and say “Don’t you see?! You WERE meant for more... so stop pretending you’re not!”

So, here we are. Now, what are we going do about it?

Well, you could start by sharing this with someone else who needs a similar nudge.
