Another thrilling week of the dreemer of the year challenge is coming to an end. It's been nothing short of fun and excitement and I can't wait to see the bounties that next week brings.
But what makes you tick? What gets your pulse racing with excitement? What makes your heart sing?
Money! Money! Money!
Money makes my world go round. It makes me tick and want to jump out of my skin with excitement. When I have lots of money, I am happy and I want to travel the world. My heart sings a beautiful song, with my voice so loud that the whole world can hear.
Hehehe.
Did you buy that? Well now that I've gotten your attention, let me tell you about the things that fill my heart the most. But let's not get it twisted, money has that effect on me and I love making money hehe.
Now that I think about these things there is a lot that put butterflies in my heart.
I love to help others
Ever since I was a kid I developed a certain level of compassion. I found myself feeling what other people felt. Because of that, I would go out of my way to help others when asked. Sometimes I would even discomfort myself for others. I would give out my last penny, my favorite dress, and things I loved just because I was asked. I helped to a fault and it was almost as if I couldn't say no. Now, I've learned to look after myself while putting a smile on people's faces. The feeling that comes with it is that of fulfillment and content. It makes my heart full and if I achieve nothing else for the rest of the day, I am enveloped with a grateful heart.
I have a thing for organizing.
I love order. To see and put things in order brightens me from the inside. My spirit lights up and finds alignment in purpose. When my space is neatly organized, even my brain processes better and I find it easier to function. The reverse is the case when I see a mess. I just don't know how to begin and my mind becomes a mess too. I find it connected like that and I know I am not the only one that feels this way.
Hence, putting things together for myself and my loved ones helps me to find clarity in my personal affairs. I can say that it is therapeutic for me and I don't see it as a chore, but rather as a necessity for body, mind, and soul to be in alignment.
Oh, I love to write stories.
This is something I've always had in me for the longest time. However, it took me so much time to accept and embrace this part of myself. It was almost like I didn't believe that I could do it. Like I didn't think I could own and receive such a gift.
[quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
Who am I not to be? I spent my time putting off that light until I couldn't hide the flames anymore. The quote by Marianne Williamson made me realize that I can be all those things and more. It made me accept what is inside of me and let me pour it out freely.
So now, I write and it makes my adrenaline pump. It is wild and almost magical that with your pen, you can create a storm and make embers spark. You can create worlds out of ink and breathe life into them. You can make the imagination of readers runs to infinity and beyond. It's orgasmic.
I write because there is pride in knowing that what I created came from me and not anybody else. It is my niche. A space I do not share with a single soul. I do it because I love it and I think I'm on my way to making a career out of it. I could pass this joy on to the next generation by teaching it. That's the only way to go. I would teach it to anyone ready to learn. I would love for my little boy to be nurtured in that direction. I know everyone has a path in life but I could certainly nudge him in that direction just to see where that goes.
