I Don’t Want to Wake Up Dreading My Day

I am on a journey creating the life I’ve always dreamed of.

I don’t want to wake up dreading my day.

I reject feeling stuck in a job that doesn’t mean anything to me.

I refuse to live only for my non-working days, avoiding letting the rest of my life pass by unnoticed.

I want to wake up excited for what’s ahead!

I desire to create work that feels meaningful and true to who I am!

And I want to live a life that feels free and full of purpose every single day!

Most people think:

A bigger paycheck will make them happy.

Owning a fancy car, a huge house, or the latest tech gadgets means they’ve made it.

Posting a perfect Instagram or TikTok feed will make them feel validated.

Is that what happiness looks like? I dread to think that’s all there is.

That’s why most people are chasing fake happiness.

For me, happiness is simple.

It’s just:

• Waking up without an alarm and feeling well-rested.

• Spending time with my pets, nature, and people who really know and love me.

• Creating something that makes the world a little better.

Here’s my plan to live my dream life without the dread:

I cut out the unnecessary clutter and distractions.

I prioritize what truly matters to me, even if it looks different from what’s expected.

I build habits and take small, consistent steps toward the life I want every single day.

I know it’s hard. It is better living a life that you hate. Or living just to fit in or survive.

Every day is a gift, and I won’t trade it for a life that feels hollow. Life is too short for fake dreams and dread. Let’s build something real!

Elevate Souls, Embolden Spirits. 🌿
