Lot of ideas in this one Jeff. We will need to commit to life to have the tenacity to pull through when it gets hard. "This is the 10 year life that I have chosen and I must plow through" seems like a way to build the sandcastles. Any other way doesn't seem to generate enough tenacity to pull through.
Loved this one - nice to layer in more philosophical/big-picture type of content. The many versions of self are something I think of often - and something I love to ask others; Ie. If you weren't who you are now & doing what your doing, what else would you do? I feel we all see somewhat of a different reality for ourselves when we run on the treadmill or go to sleep. Although most will never reach or achieve that, hence I agree with "not manifesting those dreams in the first place is the greater risk."
Good thinking Jeff.. You touched very very briefly on the aspects of life that really control how you live, where you live and how much you can change. Those outside controls govern the way you live much more than those you control. To name a few-- natural disasters( check with Californians), illness, divorce, growing families, economy booms and economy busts, good/bad investments, and many more. Therefore! there are many more outside interventions in your life that control your dreams and plans. Very few people go thru life on a one, five ten and more year plan. Life is always changing and you have got to float along and make the best of the change.
