Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda.

Speaker A

And today I want to ask you a question.

Speaker A

What did you want to be when you were a child?

Speaker A

What were you excited to become as you got older, you know, when you were 8 and 12 and 15 and 18 and so on?

Speaker A

And how did what you want to be change as you grew?

Speaker A

I want you to think about that because I want you to allow yourself to access that childlike playfulness, that childlike innocence, that childlike dream making.

Speaker A

Because when we're children, most of us, not all of us, allow ourselves to go, I want to be a doctor, I want to be an astronaut, I want to be an actress.

Speaker A

I want to be, you know, a chef, I want to be a barber.

Speaker A

Nobody for the most part looks at us in any sense of seriousness, right?

Speaker A

They're just like, oh, aren't they cute that they want to be a barber or an actress or the president or again, whatever it is that we say.

Speaker A

And then of course, we change our minds.

Speaker A

And then we want to be a policeman or a firefighter or, you know, a superhero.

Speaker A

And then we may change our mind again.

Speaker A

Because as we age, our choices become more to solve problems in our lives, right?

Speaker A

We want to solve problems in our life.

Speaker A

We don't want to feel a certain way, we don't want to experience a certain way.

Speaker A

So we start maybe looking at our decisions from a place of, I don't want to feel this and we're not necessarily conscious of it.

Speaker A

So I don't want to do that.

Speaker A

Instead, if I did this, that would solve that problem.

Speaker A

If I got an engineering degree, then I would have enough money for the rest of my life.

Speaker A

Some people love being engineers and some people went to engineering school just to have a good job.

Speaker A

So I want to get beyond the good job.

Speaker A

I want to get into the childlike innocence that you had, the things that you allowed yourself to fantasize about, dream about, hope for one day.

Speaker A

Now bring that into your current life right now.

Speaker A

No matter what age you are right now, you can always allow that.

Speaker A

Fantasy making, dream making, expanded mindset, magic making you to come forward.

Speaker A

You know, if you asked yourself now what it is that you want to do for the next year, three years, five years, 10 years.

Speaker A

If you had all the money in the world and all the time in the world and nobody was going to tell you no, and they only would say yes, what would you want to do?

Speaker A

I'd like you to give yourself permission today to just allow yourself to dream.

Speaker A

And a great way to start that is to think about what you fantasized, dreamed, hoped for when you were just a child.

Speaker A

Give yourself permission to do that today.

Speaker A

Allow yourself to just hark back to the early days of your life.

Speaker A

Now, maybe you didn't have any dreams.

Speaker A

Maybe the way that you were raised or the way that you thought about the world or the culture in which you were growing up in, again, whatever that is may not have allowed you to dream.

Speaker A

Or maybe you're somebody who's just not.

Speaker A

Has access to your dreams much.

Speaker A

I get that, too.

Speaker A

And I'd like you to suspend your disbelief.

Speaker A

Suspend your.

Speaker A

Well, I don't have the money.

Speaker A

I don't have the time, Rhonda.

Speaker A

I can't do that.

Speaker A

I want us to suspend that disbelief and just focus on what if.

Speaker A

What if you could do anything you want?

Speaker A

What if you could create a new career for yourself?

Speaker A

What if you could retire and do something you love?

Speaker A

What if you never worked a day in your life?

Speaker A

You know, they say that if you do something you love, you don't work a day in your life.

Speaker A

I want you to have more freedom, not less.

Speaker A

I want you to have more dreams, not less.

Speaker A

I want you to have more expanded possibilities than less.

Speaker A

I want you to have more.

Speaker A

I don't want you to be put in a box.

Speaker A

I want you to be set free.

Speaker A

So today, think about that child that you were and allow that innocence to come forth and allow yourself to dream.

Speaker A

Because anything really is possible.

Speaker A

Anything is possible.

Speaker A

Anything at all.

Speaker A

Until next time, be fearless.

Speaker A

I love you.
