Logan’s 52

Looking down the ladder

Him: Sometimes it feels like everyone’s doing so much better than me.
Me: That’s cause you’re spending alla your time looking up the ladder at everyone that has more than you. You need look down every once in a while and see how much more you have than the rest of the world. 

This fella once said, We are what and where we are because we have first imagined it.

• • Living in Queens, there was once a time I dreamed of living in Manhattan.
  • Growing up as a fat kid, there was once a time I dreamed of being physically fit.
  • Being bullied throughout childhood, there was once a time I dreamed of living knowing how to fight.
  • Being a friendless kid as well, there was once a time I dreamed of having friends.
  • Being a fat, clumsy, nerdy, dude, there was once a time I thought I’d never be with a beautiful intelligent woman.
  • After struggling for years to have a kid, there was once a time I woulda given anything to have my son.
  • And I never imagined that I’d be part of a creative team that’s close to hitting a million followers…le wha?

I’ve found a lotta peace in my noisy brain these past few months because I’ve really been focusing on two things:

1. 1. That quote above where I realize that everything I have right now is stuff I once dreamed to have and then spent years struggling to get.
   2. Instead of being upset that I’m so far away from my next/latest dream, I’m realizing that I’m actually right in the middle of living the last dream I had.

I’m so grateful for all the things and people that I have in my life that I never thought I’d ever have.

Pretty sure that if 14-year-old me saw 52-year-old me, he’d be both shocked and impressed.

TBH, when I really think about it, 52-year-old me is shocked and impressed with my life.

We should all be shocked and impressed with our lives.
