I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Basically, the idea is that, sure you may not be able to snap your fingers and get your degree, a house, great jobs for you and your boyfriend and the perfect 10 body (whatever that is). BUT those things are not really what you want. What you really want is the freedom, the autonomy, the independence, the financial stability and weight-loss. For me, the main feeling in those is freedom. And you can generate that in this instant, right where you are. And when you do all of the "things" you want will be much easier to achieve. Knowing what you want to BE and put out in the world is more important to me than having any particular thing. All of these prerequisites to be happy...why not be happy now? Happy people have a much easier time getting what they want anyway.
