Breaking Free (week 16)


I bought a third Dozer, LOL. This is the last one, I promise. At least for now, haha. I did not have to buy it, but I wanted to prove myself a point. You see, as I mentioned in my previous article, I have a feeling that I wasted the past 3 years. Not entirely, but I know that I could have done more with my time. Especially in certain realms of expertise. My life could have turned out better, or could it?

There is this psychological concept called hindsight bias. It is that feeling of knowing something was going to happen after it happened. It is also known as the “I told you so” phenomenon. Likewise, it is easy to look at a situation from the past and see everything clearly when, in reality, it wasn’t so clear to our past selves. I made some decisions that I regret now, but I cannot be mad at my past self because, at that time, it was probably the best decision I could have thought of. Now, back to my original point. One of the reasons why I wanted to have the 3rd Dozer is because I doubted myself that I could have it, if that makes sense. For many years now, I have known that manifestation is a very real thing. Though I was not using its full potential for my benefit, I always attracted some small thing I wanted at the time. I mean, I did not consider it small at the time, but in hindsight, I consider it not as important.

One of my first and biggest manifestations was my iPhone 5s. Today I find it quite funny that I wanted an Apple product, but regardless, I was very obsessed with having an iPhone. I did not care for it to be the latest one. I just wanted to experience the IOS. Or at least that’s the thing I was telling myself. Perhaps there was an underlying desire to be liked by my peers, or something along those lines. Today, I honestly don’t know what the real reason was. Anyway, it is interesting how reality aligned, and I got the iPhone for Christmas from my brother. Well, technically, from my parents; however, if I recall correctly, they bought it from him. My brother won the iPhone at his company Christmas party. It was the exact model I wished for and in the color I wanted.

This is one of many things that should have been enough proof for me. Anyway, today I believe that I have enough. The dozer(s) are enough proof for me because the last 2 I managed to get for the same price and in a similar time frame with the same amount of effort. I imagined having three of them on top of my closet, and now I do have them.
