You are the genie!

Ever watched or read Aladdin? If yes, you most likely know what a genie is. If no, you still probably know what a genie is.
Ok, fine, I'll stop being lazy and tell you what a genie is🤧 A genie is a fictional magical being that is typically bound to obey the commands of a mortal possessing its container.

There's something amazing about this definition. It's how clearly it's stated that genies are fictional. Very much so in fact. So even though we sometimes ask ourselves the question of if we ever find a genie, what our wishes would be, they are still not going to become real creatures.
Far too many people are content with the idea or hope that their wishes can somehow be granted by some magical force without them actually putting in the work (I'm far too many people, far too many people is me) but the sad reality is that that's not going to happen.

Guess what though, we are the genies actually. We are the magic actually! We alone possess the ability to grant our wishes. It took me such a long time to realize this. I'm a firm believer in the law of attraction(I should probably write a blog post on this) but I spent so much of my time believing that because I wanted stuff and I believed and focused on my thoughts they were going to magically manifest. Hahahaha. I manifested a lot actually. The only problem is that everything I manifested could only be used in the dream world.

While you can actually get every and any thing you want in this world. You won't get it by doing absolutely nothing.

Now, we are all complaining about this lockdown. People like me, for example, are complaining on social media about our inability to maintain a social life when in fact, prior to the lockdown we didn't even have a social life. One amazing thing about this lockdown however, is how much free time we have. Now is honestly the best time to get off our butts and start doing something about all the things we plan to achieve.
I know it's hard. You don't have to tell me. I had so many plans on all the aspects of my life I was going to add value to but unsurprisingly enough, the only thing that I've managed to add something to in my life is my tummy and it ain't value.
