Recently, I stalled writing down my big dreams and goals every morning. However, a whole psychology happens when we write down our big dreams and then do at least five things daily to work toward each goal. When we check off our wins, it’s a motivating mini-high and fuel for our dreams.
So, I just wrote down my goals, resulting in a novel idea I wouldn’t have had: I will pitch my documentary film to Angel Studios with what I’ve got available to me right now. Just do it. I temporarily purchased Zoom, which may work for the initial interview. I’ll send my interviewee friend, who had multiple near-death experiences, a green screen to upload to her Zoom. I’ll send her an invitation tonight. I’ve got this, as my theatre ads looked beautiful on the big screen, so I know I can do this. Just an hour ago, I phoned my near-death experience friend, but she was heading into the doctor’s office, so we couldn’t talk. Write down our goals daily if we want to have epiphanies that will launch us in our dreams’ direction.
I will attend a physical university’s Doctor of Business Administration session tonight. I also previously attended one from AU. I don’t know which one I’ll apply to. I also submitted my application for Metis status and will hear back in five months as to whether I’m accepted. If everything goes well, I may get enough scholarships for my education. The doctorate costs $2000 a month, far beyond my means, so I must apply for every scholarship imaginable. However, the Dean said that if we can’t afford to pay presently, we probably shouldn’t apply, so that’s why we must be mavericks, never succumbing to a “we can’t” response, even if we’re up against formidable obstacles. There are genuinely no obstacles in life, just growth opportunities. Nothing is final—not even death.
I put my first audio clip on SoundCloud, and it wants a whole song to give me exposure, which I’ll have as soon as I contract out my ghost singer to perform a song written by a highly talented loved one. I think SoundCloud is amazing. It’s just like YouTube but for audio. So, for any of us with musical talent, and we know we have some gifted musical AU students among us, consider trying it.
Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time doing video screen captures of AI software, using free trials, and posting them on YouTube. It’s like a meditative task, like knitting or quilting. I’m addicted to doing these software video screen captures. I’m unsure if it’s a calling or a diversion, but it’s fun. When we see something and think, “That would be neat,” it’s a sign it’s part of our mission. I’ve always wanted to be a fitness instructor as a side gig, and I can’t seem to let that thought go. Listen to thoughts such as these and act on them at any opportunity. These work to fulfill God’s plans for us.
Tonight, I made a breakthrough with these video screen captures. I decided to learn Power BI and Azure and figured out how to perform machine learning on a database to predict how interest rates would impact stock prices. In other words, because of these screen captures, I went from being a total blank slate to being able to apply machine learning to data to create predictive models. That means I stand a chance of getting careers in marketing that require data analytics. It also means I am more likely to be considered for a CMO role. So, go gung-ho on our hobbies, because they affect our futures. That’s why we’re passionate about our hobbies; they’re part of our missions.
Just after I made a screen capture earlier today, I looked at a photo of a deceased loved one who was nearly crying in her picture, and I swear, she was smiling broadly right at me in a way that seemed like she was physically beside me. Yes, superstition holds greater spiritual meaning than we may realize, and nothing reassures me like a smile from a deceased loved one’s photo.
So, whatever we focus on, remember where our thoughts reside is where our callings reside. And what better way to nurture our dreams than to go gung-ho with our passions? However, as a disclaimer, a woman who had a near-death experience in the movie After Death indicated that sometimes we have missions we either don’t want to do or don’t know how to execute. It’s all a beautiful web, where everything we weave in that web, good or bad, shapes us into that gorgeous piece of the infinite that we always have been: endless beauty and unconditional love.
