A Farewell to Predestination

Predestination you are one of the greatest thieves of joy. You convince me that there is always a better way to do things. When I decide to go one way or do something I am constantly wondering if I have made the “right” decision. You convince me that there is some entity watching my every move and judging the rightness of them. I am always wondering if what I am doing is good enough or if I should have done something else instead. I have this deep down belief that there is a life I am supposed to be living that is the best life for me and if I can just do things the right way and get to the right place I will have arrived at that place. I can’t seem to be proud of the good things I do that are right, and I definitely can’t seem to really enjoy the things I do that I want to do.

The truth is that nothing is written in stone anywhere and that is the best part of life. We have never done this life before and we will never do it again. The most badass part is that everything we do creates our reality in real time. We have no idea what we are doing but everything we do builds on itself and creates the life we are living now and influences our lives in the future. What a huge beautiful gift! My God — how can the religion for the masses seek to take away what I consider the best part of life? I don’t think it was meant to, I don’t think it was written that — but it certainly has been interpreted that way by quite a lot of people whether explicitly or implicitly and it just makes me sad that they are missing out on the power that they have. We have TREMENDOUS power to create whatever life we want. The truth is there are NO rules. ALL that exists are actions and consequences, cause and effect. One might argue that while there are no rules if you run into the street you might get hit by a bus — and they would be correct. However, that doesn’t change the fact that technically there are no rules against running into the street. So, it’s all about risk and reward. What are you willing to risk? What rewards are so high that the risks are worth taking? What risks are so high that the rewards are not worth it? On and on… So, throw out the rule book completely! Re-write your song, change the channel, clear the window of your perception and dare to imagine the life you really really want deep down. The hardest part of creating your dream life is dreaming it — believe it or not. The creating of it is so easy. It is establishing what you really want that is so hard. Mainly because we have been so programmed to live life the prescribed way that imagining a life makes us flex muscles we have never exercised before. What would I do if I didn’t do what I was “supposed” to do all the time? I don’t even know now that I think about it. I am just saying I am a living example of what can happen when you live the life of your dreams. I don’t have an extraordinary life — I am not super rich or famous, I just love my life and myself to the core and to me that is all the riches I need. I have a job I love because I manifested exactly what I wanted in a career by taking all the things I hated about my old jobs and manifesting what I really wanted instead. I have a body I love because I was honest with myself about how much I hated being overweight and started eating right and working out regularly. I have friends and a community I love because I went years of my life hiding away in a cave of self-isolation and discovered we do in fact have to have other people in our lives to survive — it is an emotional need. So, I purposely immersed myself in communities and activities I loved and enjoyed and therefore made like-minded friends along the way. I have changed so many old behavioral patterns that were unhealthy because I paid attention to the way they made me feel. I literally take time often to re-imagine my life and create more in my life. “Now that I have done this, what is next” type of manifestation. So, please do yourself a favor and imagine the life you really want to live. You only get one. You are only going to do this day once. Make it the best it can be — for you, not what other people would judge to be the best. When you are living your truth and living your life with passion and purpose you radiate, and it catches on. There is no greater life than the life lived without abandon. Dare to do it for yourself. Forget what the church said, forget what your parents said, forget what your friends say, forget what your inner judgmental voice says. Listen to and become best friends with the real you, that still small voice deep within you and let him/her lead the way. That voice won’t lead you astray. No one can tell you what choices are best for you and your life other than you because no one is living your life but you. Other people work on their perception based on their life experiences and what they think is best is only best for them in their world. You are the only person in the world who truly knows what is best for you. Also, you don’t have to explain yourself and your choices to anyone. Establish firm boundaries with the people in your life who would judge your choices or expect you to do what they think you should do. You don’t have to cut them out of your life, but you can if you feel you need to or should. (I just realized how ironic it is that I am writing about doing whatever you want in life and doing “you” and I am doing the very thing I am telling people to not listen to anymore. I hope this inspires and empowers people. I don’t want this to come off as judgmental or pushy I am just seeking to give people the gift I have given myself. Eh it may not be for everyone and that is okay.) So, go out and be yourself and for Christ’s sake — Shine the Fuck On Superstar!
