Dear Self…..

by rbenns on March 10, 2010

Dear self, you are 47 years old. What do you have to show for it? Are you living the dreamI have many years filled with both joy and pain.  I imagine the pain that I feel is nothing more than joy unexplained.  I have the satisfaction of knowing that I was willing to take the journey to a foreign and an unknown place.  I have a me that is better off now than the me that first begun.  I have years of wisdom that no man could ever strip from me.  It’s impossible not to live the dream but it is possible not to know it.  I live the dream everyday.

As you look back on your life, what are you most proud of, what do you regret, and how do you feel about each of those things? I don’t look back too much but when I do I wish that I would have taken more chances sooner.  I wish that I would have sought more strategically  to help more people be better.  I wish that I had embraced my unconventional wisdom sooner.  I wish that I would have woke up from the dream sooner.

I’m most proud for not giving up on myself.  I’m most proud of stepping outside of my comfort zone.  I’m most proud of not buying into the status quo’ of  life and for life.

I don’t have any regrets.  Regret is a wasted emotion.  I correct the things I am able to correct and I let the rest go.

  • What’s next, self? To reach for even higher vistas.  To face more of my fears.  To live, love and laugh more often.
  • Why do you do the things you do? Mostly I do things to have fun and to feel more alive.
  • What do you really believe in? (What do you know to be true?) Ultimately I can know nothing to be true for sure.  I do know to question everything.  I truly believe in oneness and what I do for you I do for myself and visa versa.
  • Where do you find your security? In knowing ultimately that I am a divine expression of source here to have a human interaction.
  • What bothers you, and what are you doing about it? Not saying “yes” to more opportunities.  I am saying “yes” to more things that really matter to me.
  • What worries you? Nothing.  If I can do something about it then I will do it or not.  If I cannot do anything about it then I let it go or not.  What else is there to worry about?
  • If you had one year left to live, how would you spend it? I would look for plenty of fertile soil to plant my seeds. (This is not what you’re thinking)

That’s my spin on it.
