Ah...the challenge!

I found it! I found the challenge I've been looking for, and I embrace it with joy!
It's in the kids! Of course! Why I didn't see it before, I am unsure.
I am going to show my kids magic. I am going to help them remember, NOW, while they are young, WHY it is that we tell them they can do anything, be anything, etc. We all say it and none of us really back it up. Oh, we say...you can do that if you work hard, and sweat, and throw in a little blood, sure, THEN you can have it, when you are all grown up, but first you have to get all A's and get into certain schools and get certain pieces of paper telling you that you can go THAT way, but DON'T EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND or that piece of paper is no longer good and you have to go through the WHOLE PROCESS all over again.

STUPID. And why would anyone feel like trying then?

Instead, I'm going to show them NOW that they can dream BIG, REALLY BIG and get what they'd like. I'll show you, too! And me!

CJ and Josh are going to make lists of things they'd like to be, have and do. Tonight we are going to catagorize them, no matter what they are, and make babystep goals and then I am going to guide them while they actually accomplish those things. They can't clearly see that this is how we operate every single day of our lives and that most of the time we do it unconciously, so it looks like things "happen" to us and we are constantly reacting to life....and then we miss the things like the fact that they/we dreamed up our perfect trip to Florida, and then created it and made it happen. I'm going to show them how to consciously get whatever it is they want. If they know it NOW think of all the things that can do their WHOLE LIVES.

Yes! And I clearly need a challenge right now, since I have the urge to pack up and leave, move, go somewhere else and do something new. Josh's list is going to include crazy things like designing a roller coaster and starring on a TV show, so I have my work cut out for us, don't you think?

We are about to engage the magic, friends! *waving wand around*
