Not long ago I made a resolution that I would only do exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life.  No one I shared it with thought I was serious. But I am.

Here is my line of thought. Our life comes to us moment by moment. In each moment there is a range of possibilities and options. With varying degrees of awareness we make choices among those options. And we choose the options that we want.

As I sit at my desk, I have the option of standing up.  I choose to stay seated and typing because that is what I want to do. In fact, of all the things I could actually do at this moment, this is exactly what I want to do.

Note, I am not choosing between all the things I can imagine or visualize or dream up, but only the options that are before me right now.  Though I might want to go the beach this morning, that is not a real option for me at this moment.

Now I could pause to fantasize about the beach, search up some Air B and B options, watch a few Youtubes, or I could indulge in resentment that I am stuck here at my desk. But I actually don’t want to do any of those things. However, if I did choose to do one of them, it would be because I wanted to. And I would still be doing exactly what I want, given the options at hand.

So, I can say with confidence that I will only do exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life, because that is what I have already been doing all of my conscious life.
