Money Bump - BASE 2.1 - Round 3 (last round in 2017)

[Ampersnd]

I pretty much lived by that list, but I didn't forget or deny the mystical side of life. 

For the first 27/28 years of my life, I slept alone (save for the occasional one night stand or week-long girlfriend).  I grew tired of that. I began to imagine sleeping next to someone, and even wrote out what I really wanted... A relationship with the perfect person for me, who would challenge me and help me grow as a person, but also be fearsomely loyal and loving - a person who I would love in return.

I read that statement every night in bed for some time.  Next thing I know, I met my wife through circumstances outside of my direct control, but a natural extension of my best laid life plans.  She fits the bill to my statement and visualizations to this day.  

I still got everything I wanted on my list.

Stay-at-home dad, check.
Work-from-home, check. 
Be my own boss, check. 

So I make plans, and am careful as to what I visualize and set my intentions toward... Because in the end, I get what I put out there. 

Keep up what good work, Dan.

That makes sense. I used to think that my destiny would sort itself out because I was 'special' or simply had something different from the rest of society. That attitude led to a ton of wasted time; I know now that I have to set myself apart through intent and actions.

I find that the more that I get geared into taking action, the more I've noticed a spiritual component to it as well.

I thought up this framework because I got frustrated with people expressing their desire to learn French, but never lift a finger to accomplish it. Or, a theoretical person wanting to start a business but doesn't even know what it takes. Hope this clarifies.
