Up until very recently, I've always been mildly obsessed with the future; future
house, future car, future love - and a precise enunciation on the latter of the
three. Although I believe it is important to have a distinct outlook on what we
want in life, there's no particular need to have it all planned out. Life is
unpredictable [this has been proven to me many times over] and so 'planning the
future' will only serve as disappointment if things don't end up going our way.
If we truly want something, whether it be materialistic or otherwise,
manifestation is an all encompassing power that we all have the ability to
hone. This will bring about what we think about most and coincides with the
laws of attraction. If some of you are unfamiliar with this "law"
please refer to "The Secret", a marvelous book [and DVD] which sums
up this very real philosophy. Although there is so much more to "The
Secret" and its explanations, it is an introductory guide to an even
larger truth. Enlighten yourself and expand your mind, I promise you won't
regret it. 
Back to basics, I often ask myself (as well as many others), what's the
rush?! I too was one of those girls back in high school, reflecting on when I'd
have life all put together, what I would be and the things I would have
accomplished. I'd be married by 24 and possibly have children, no later than
28; I'd be in the entertainment industry, own a big house and a few nice cars.
Was I serious (insert exacerbated sarcastic voice here)?? My sexual preference
not only changed, but everything about who I was and who I was going to be did
as well. I'm currently in my late 20's, more single than ever, and am an
aspiring entrepreneur on various levels. I have no children [nor do I think I
will ever have them] and I've decided that I forfeit this 'planned' futuristic
outcome and just let the universe guide me where I need to be as oppose to
attempting to control how my life will unfold. And who needs marriage at this
age? For those of you who have found "the one" I applaud you and only
wish you the best in this life, but for those of us who haven't been so
successful in this discovery, let us remember we have the rest of our lives to
figure it out and settle down! Putting a time frame and feeling rushed to jump
into a lifelong commitment shouldn't be something to fret about, at least not
now - if ever. It will come when it comes, when it's suppose to; just as that
fancy house and that nice car or anything else we've come to desire. I'm embracing this 'singledom', if you will. I'm learning that your 20's, in particular, are the best of your trial and error years. Taking the time to discover who you are and how you want to create yourself is a vital part of the foundation you set that will support that rest of your life. Once you are comfortable enough in your own skin, know where you're going and where you want to go, unlocks this empowerment within and allows you to fall in love with, you. Knowing exactly who you are and what you have to offer is fundamental before entering into any relationship or commitment. Sit back, relax, manifest in your greatest desires and get to know yourself first and foremost. Everything else will come in time as it should.
