Seriously?

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Firstly it was 62 years ago. Secondly I was busy playing. Thirdly, I do recall from the age of about 8 that I changed my mind daily about my future career.

At one point ballet dancer was on the table for ten minutes. As I’ve never been able to touch my toes since I first tried aged 5, it’s not a wonder it fell off into oblivion.

As none of my dreams have come true so far – I don’t intend to quit – I have learned one very important thing, the correct answer to that question. Teach your children and use it yourself:

I want to be happy

Everything good flows from happiness, and it makes it easier to change lanes if your dreams aren’t working out for you.

A dream that is making you unhappy is the wrong dream

Aim for happy and your decisions will be right, plus you won’t get caught in the trap of stubbornly moving forward chasing the now impossibly miserable dream.

Best love and lots of joy

P.S. Can we also stop asking very young children what they want to do when they grow up, and at least give them a few years without responsibility. Future generations could live to way over a hundred, imagine worrying about work at age 5! For 95 years. Yes the retirement age will probably be around 100.

Also don’t teach them that work is the most important thing in their lives, that’s just a social construction that keeps the rich in diamonds and fast cars they’re not allowed to drive fast. Working to support the economy yes, making it the most important thing…NEVER. Loving life is way more important.

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
