You Can’t Wake Up The Same Person Once

Could you wake up and be someone different?

Not, a different person, like in those switcharoo movies where the parent and child exchange bodies.  But you woke up and you are the person that you dreamed of becoming.  All improvements instantaneous, every characteristic you thought you lacked, became real.  No more nail biting, no more saying ‘like’, no more lack of focus, no more booze, you are complete and never need to change. You are improved in all the ways you ever wanted, as an  act of will.�

Am I dreaming? Probably. But I really, really wanted it.

I sound, to myself, like I’m looking for a cheap and easy way out of work that requires consistent effort.  But I know it takes work. This is more of an abstraction on the nature of change. That it cannot be sudden, or overnight. Yet, something tells me it can. There are external acts that alter our behavior; a close death, disease, etc, may change our perception, but our behavior? It takes people years to overcome destructive or unwanted patterns.  My inkling is that there is a will or desire strong enough to change its own nature.

I wonder if I have. Though, if I have to wonder, I probably don’t. Unreachable? Doubt, it seems, is the downfall.

Coincidence it’s my birthday today? Definitely not.
