Limitless Freedom and Abundance

I'm imagining my "best life."

I'm inspired by what Bob Dylan said about doing what you want to do in between waking up and sleeping and the money comes.

This sounds like pursuing your passion in life. Something like a calling.

In my best life if I could retrace back to my younger years and if money wasn't an issue I'd...

If I can do anything I'd travel the world and live in a foreign country. I love languages and I was taking Spanish for 6 years. What I truly believe was total immersion in order to learn the language. I would love to volunteer or be an English teacher in South America before those programs became more popular as they are today. Other countries that I was interested in are Korea or Japan.

If I can do anything I'd dance and sing. I'd live life full of joy pursuing and going to see Big Bang, BTS, BAP, etc. I know I love and have a talent for dancing but it was never developed. Fun fact - I realized the other day that the majority of the things I learned or enjoyed was doing things own my own and that I did not learn from school. Well aside from extracurricular such as learning how to run XC, Track, and lifting weights, classes didn't teach me much. Electives taught me more than core classes - Spanish, Tech, Typing class, Spiritual Journaling.

If I can do anything I'd like to visit my family in VN more often so that I can understand two sides of the world as well as be more connected with them. It's been 8 years since I've been back to my homeland and it breaks my heart that yesterday it was so random that my uncle called me through messenger. I remember my extended family back in VN have big hearts - something I did not feel ever before living in USA.

If I can do anything I'd like I told my friends I'd travel and learn martial arts from all over the world. Funny thing is there were shows of guys doing this. I love martial arts. It's unfortunate that the martial arts here are for most managed for profit and does not teach ethics. I learned while watching Chinese KF movies as a kid with my family that martial arts is not only something cool but there is a deeper meaning behind it. Bruce Lee demonstrated the martial arts best physically as well as philosophically. No one and rarely anyone is on the forefront today like Bruce. It's all about going to class for about an hour and a half and then going home with no emphasis on ethics.

I'd say whatever I want to say and post whatever I want to post and not be afraid that employers would look me up to judge me and find reasons not to hire me.

Just doing this exercise I feel happy and in a good head space. I feel unlimited and abundance. I don't want family, friends or society to tell me what I can or cannot do. I know they mean well but me being naive and young have listened to them and not been able to have faith in myself. When my mindset and theirs do not line up and they want to see me fail and not support me to want to tell me off - "I told you so" wanting to be right to fulfill their egos, it's a recipe for disaster and no body leaves happy.

I learned recently to not focus on being right but being kind.
