I have hope and I don't want to.

Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.

Live. I mean, really live. Of course, there's a masssive long list of stuff I'd love to do in my life or with my life but a lot are so cliche and unoriginal like 'Get married, have a family and be happy.' That would be great but why does anyone want to hear me go on for a paragraph or more about my hope for what everyone wants? So I hope to live. I want to say yes to amazing opportunities, I want to do stupid things that I may regret but learn from and I just want to be. I have an email subscription to this brilliant website which sends me notes from the Universe. I first heard about Notes From The Universe the book from Davey Wavey (he pops up all over the place) and then discovered the website. To quote the blurb of one of the books I have, "What if the Universe were to send you frequent reminders of the absolute power you have over your life?" The Author Mike Dooley, known as the interpreter of The Universe, has made a collection of messages that are uplifting and inspirational. An example:

Limits are for those who don't believe in The Universe.

That rings true to me because to the best of our knowledge, this Universe is infinite and larger than we can imagine. The mind is an constant, neverending buzz of ideas and life takes us to places we never imagined, so I ask: why should my hopes, dreams and life be any smaller than our Universe? I don't utterly rely on my hope to live, I'm just going to live.

Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do.

I saw Day 6 and immediately thought, have someone I know die too young, but I've experienced that twice in the past 3/4 years so that didn't quite work out. I thought for a while after that about what to put here, and I've ended up at "I hope I never have to take someone elses life." By that I don't mean killing them dead, I mean taking their life's dream. In Day 5 I said I want to take opportunities, but I hope to never come to a point where I want to say 'Yes,' and that yes shouldn't be leaving my lips but someone elses. I'm aware there is a battle for jobs and we have to do what we can to get where we want but I'm not sure I could bare it if I stole someone's place when they had a bigger passion for the job than me. I don't think a lot of what I'm writing here makes too much sense so the overall gist: I hope to never fill someone elses shoes if they don't fit perfectly.
