If you could switch lives with a famous person for a week, who would it be and why?

View all responses

With all the intention, effort and faith I have applied in just trying to become me, I cannot be distracted by switching lives with someone “famous”.  

I can try to become more attuned or aligned with some aspect of their character.  What makes them get up and after it each day regardless.  

And to be honest, these individuals are most likely right around me, daily.  

Down the block.  Two pews down at church.  Passing me at the grocery store.  Taking a walk.  

Cutting the grass. 

Fame is fleeting.  Mostly shallow.  The quality of the moment. Seemingly subject to the will of the masses and the app you happen to be scrolling.  

I will continue to work on just being the best version of myself.  

With the help of those humble role models and teachers that surround me.  

I don’t want to switch.  

Because their influence is apparent, positive, lasting.  

And loving. 

Making them famous in my eyes. 

How do you manage stress?

From my perspective, I certainly create the majority of it. 

Totally self-induced on my part. An invitation to my personal pity party.

Like looking back to tell myself, “…it didn’t work last time, stupid”. Or going the other direction, knowing definitively what will happen and getting way out over my skis, “…this will never work, stupid.”

Procrastinating.  “ I have until….”

Zero self discipline. 

An abundance of ego. 

The affliction of pride. 

Way too little humility. 

No sense of presence.

Control is fantasy. 

Preparation is reality.  

What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?

Once I am farther along and in a better place, I will most certainly share with you my friends. 

This guy can already sense it.  

Brings him joy, serenity and peace. 

He even cracked a smile. 

If you call it that.
