I’ve dreamt of accomplishing and acquiring the best things that i can call mine but life decided it wasn’t meant to be. Guess it sucks to be at the end of the receiving line.

Having a family. Being a parent is the best job in the world.
Deadlifting 500 pounds. I lift in my basement and I yelled so loud in celebration my wife thought I had hurt myself lol
As cliché as it sounds, I believe the “secret” in visualizing success or happiness is first and foremost telling yourself that you deserve it.
I’ve achieved most of dreams because I break them down into a series of steps and small realistic goals.
Careers and relationships may not work out the way you planned but if you continue to do the right thing, ethically and morally, better things will come.
Be mindful that the universe always has other plans so the best skill you can develop is adaptability.

I was in the army working on helicopters and while I enjoyed my job I felt stuck making average income. I would pray for an opportunity to get a better job and make more. I was taking online college courses and had the army pay to send me to get my airframe and power plant license, and a week before I left to go the school an old friend called and asked if I wanted a job if/when I finished the course. 2 months later I went from making $65-70k a year to $125k at 25 years old in a field I still love. I traveled more that year than I had in my entire life.
My wife. My first marriage was horrible (10 years). I tried to keep it together for the kids, but to no avail. The experienced helped me hone in on what my ideal partner would be.
I met my now wife of 15 years, and she was everything i had prayed for. Amazing!
I fantasized that I would one day make more than my Dad did. I dreamt about it in my 30s, because I started realizing he was a stand up guy, hella smart, and made 6 figures.
I make 4-5x what he was making at the end of his career. He was a mathematician for a big defense contractor- I am a PhD Chemical Engineer who now works in IP law.
He is proud of me, and I owe a lot of my success to him and how he raised and supported me through good times and bad. I will honor and respect him to the end. 😊
As a kid that was fascinated with nature and mountains. Got to live in Colorado for a few years as an adult and had crazy access to really cool trailheads. Gotta say I’m not completely mesmerized as I once was, but the mountains are still fun
Had a threesome, wasn’t worth it
I got paid to smoke weed and play video games for 5 years. Felt like I was living out my childhood fantasy a lot of the time.
I envisioned myself becoming friends with some of the biggest streamers out there, and it actually happened, to some extent.
It feels weird to have closed that chapter and I’m trying to move onto the next, without too many expectations. It was very hard going back to working a minimum wage job for the first time in 6 years, and losing a lot of the status and success I had built over the years.

Most of my adult life I went against the grain… was single, broke, and not successful. I didn’t want to follow in my dad’s footsteps and hated manufacturing. I decided not to go against the grain and instead maximize what I had in front of me. Within 6 years, I’m married to an amazing woman I met at work, I manage multiple plants, and have 3 kids. It was the success I had imagined, but more felt like what destiny had loaded up for me. It’s given me the opportunity to springboard to my next goal but we will see if that’s what the simulation wants I guess.
As a kid:
“Man, I’d really love to be a pro-wrestler when I grow up, that’d be awesome”.
Adults:
“Don’t be silly.”

Had threesomes. Highly recommend.
Touching a booby.
“Hungry mouths don’t get fed” and “Luck comes to those who don’t need it” are some of my biggest beliefs. “Manifesting” is anti-pattern for me – wishing for something means that it will never happen.
My advice is to focus on doing the fundamentals (healthy life, good relationships, and getting $$$$$ in that order), gaining knowledge, and taking calculated risks in a direction you want to go. The rest is decided by fate.
My career. I dreamt about it since I was 10 years old.
