Today's Challenge: Write a response blog post to this question:

If you woke up tomorrow and were free to do anything you wanted with your life, what would you do and who would you be?

I would easily say I would be a writer. I would do what I am already doing right now by teaching and helping other writers be successful in pursuing their dreams. Only on a bigger scale. 

My goal has always been to live life on my own terms. To have the freedom to be, to do, and to have anything I want. I want to travel the world and experience all that life has to offer. I want to explore ancient mysteries and lands of mythical monsters and medieval castles- taking the time to truly enjoy everything around me.

I want to live on past this physical existence. To be remembered long after I was gone. To be legendary and leave a legacy. Words never rang truer for me than those penned by Beyonce in her song "I Was Here": 

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time

Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind

When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets

Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

 

I was here

I did, I've done everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here

 

I want to say I lived each day, until I died

And know that I meant something in, somebody's life

The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave

That I made a difference, and this world will see

 

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

 

I just want them to know

That I gave my all, did my best

Brought someone some happiness

Left this world a little better just because

 

I was here

 

I just want to be. Fully. Completely. Without lack spiritually, emotionally, physically.

Isn’t that what we all want?

I want more. How about you?
