What Does my Dream Life Actually Look Like?
A sensation I feel sometimes is a creeping sense of misalignment. I sometimes feel like I am not doing the things I am supposed to or that I’m missing the point entirely and wasting my time with what I am currently occupying myself with. This is something that I’d like to change this year.
Lately, I have been asking my friends two tough questions. Similar to the question posed in “Why are People so Intrigued by Sex?” I have been asking friends:
“If your life could look any way you wanted it to - what would it actually look like?”
What would you do if you knew that you could not succeed?
I realized this morning that I have been so busy asking others these questions that I have not taken the time to answer them for myself. Today’s entry will be an exploration into doing just that.
If I could live any life I wanted - what would it actually look like? My ideal lifestyle has a six components:
I am, and feel like an ever expanding circle. I become a better and more skilled person every year.
Enough passive income to pay rent and eat out every day if I needed to. Alone: it’s $5,000 USD per month. Partnered: $10,000. With a child: $15,000.
I am in the best physical and mental shape of my life.
Freedom of time, money, location, expression and mind to explore novel interests and experiences.
Helping others who are looking for the kind of help I am able to provide.
A network of close friends and family whom I love and care for deeply.
What would I do if I knew I could not succeed? Which processes feel most meaningful to me? What do I enjoy doing so much that I would continue doing even if it resulted in 0 material gain?
Continuing to develop the functioning of my body and my mind.
Experiencing and documenting life.
Attempting to help out wherever and whenever possible. Helping others unlock the best versions of themselves.
Ultimately, it sounds like I am on a quest to unlock the best version of myself, and help others do the same. In an ideal future: I am paid to be the best version of myself. Now that I’ve established the what, I just need to figure out the how.
The How:
How can I make 5,000 per month in passive income while:
Having freedom of time location and mind.
Unlocking the best version of myself.
Helping others do the same:
Bringing out the best in those that are afraid.
Giving the meek permission to be brave.
What will stand in my way?
My false believe that anyone really cares about what I’m up to.
My fear of being judged by peers.
The Plan:
Done Right Funding (outsourced to Ira)
Writing and selling E-Books with the help of AI
Fitness Influencer: get into the best shape of my life & give away my lifestyle for free
Food blogger: get paid to eat food that is healthy, tasty, and made with love.
Hans eats (reaction)
Cinematography
Highlight reels (like thefeastking)
Get into the best shape of my life (show others it’s possible for them).
Spend the rest of my waking hours trying to be useful to humanity
That’s all for now. See you in the next one.
PS. Merry Christmas
