Not being tagged in It
Not “assassinated” in the game of Assasins
Moving away from your former identity, once shaped by your family and hometown
Quitting a job that you had hated for your entire life, but you never realized it…until recently
Meditating for 7+ days in the retreat held north of the Bay Area
Literally breaking out of prison, like from Alcatraz
Breaking free of the bad eating habits that you once had, like McDonalds and KFC every day
Leaving a relationship that was not only abusive, but kept you in a plateau for years
Moving out of an apartment that you loved, but really had mold growing up in the corners and now you realized that your health is so much better
A career that kept you from tapping your potential, whatever that potential actually may be, and that potential often comes in the form of something that is definitely not income-generating
Diving deep into fiction, a novel or short story
Running a marathon where your mind is only on the completion of the 26 miles, rather than anything from your daily life
Being around people who make you feel like you, which you probably never felt previously
Becoming self-aware of the things you want and desire simply through the act of writing them down in a moment of brainstorming
Eating a delicious snack, which sends you back into the past where you had this special memory of sharing that very same food with a beloved friend
Playing a mobile game where you match three-of-a-kind together
Attending a college out of state so that you can meet a lot of people who are unlike the people you have known your entire life up to this point
Receiving a generous sum of money that allows you to move upward in life and prosperity
Tossing out your mobile phone whose notifications had imprisoned you daily for the past year
Turning off the email notifications so that you don’t see urgent emails from your boss at 1 am and you feel so dutiful to answer them within 5 minutes
Deleting social media apps so that you don’t have to reach out for them when you feel lonely; instead, you sit in that discomfort and you come to understand where it had started
Taking risks with something that you had never experienced previously. Everyday.
