It’s technically day 12 i opened up a blog, and today I’m supposed to share a picture of my family. Though I have plenty of me in my underwear, I don’t seem to have a picture of my family (no offense, mom). So, scratch that.
Day 12 is about sharing the first 10 songs on your iPod Shuffle, but I don’t have one of those either. Besides, I much prefer the sound of silence. And I’d be a little embarrassed if “Never Say Never” came on.
So let’s fast-forward (time isn’t real anyway) to day 13, which is all about your plans, goals and dreams. Turns out, I do have a few of those.
My near-term plans involve selling copies of my “You Are Beautiful” cards to raise money for an all-volunteer, youth-led organization called WeStopHate.org. More than stopping hate, they’re about creating love and building self esteem in youth. If people feel better about themselves, they are less likely to bully others. They’re doing great work – and with a $15,000 annual operating budget, I think we all could make a big difference.
Beyond that, I try not to make too many long-term plans. I find that the universe does a better job of planning for me than I do of planning for myself. I would have never planned to become a professional YouTuber, for example, but look where I am today!
Having said all of that, I do have a goal. I want to leave this world with a little more love than I found it. That’s really all I ask, and how I’ll measure my life as a life well lived. And hooking up with sexy gay twins would just be icing on the cake.
As for dreams, I dream that someday you’ll be able to see yourself as the infinitely beautiful being that you actually are.
What’s your dream? Let me know in the comments.
