January 28th - Metaphysics

In the back half of the month I was very optimistic. I spent a lot of time writing declarations about my future, reflecting on the previous few years, and getting more clarity on what I wanted my life to look like.

I also became fascinated with Dolores Cannon and decided to read all of her books. I started exploring different metaphysical ideas. It doesn't mean I agree with or endorse everything she teaches, but that's what I was exposing myself to at the time.

At this point I was enamored with learning. I was reading, writing, and documenting everything. I was fascinated with raising my consciousness and understanding how the mind works.

Around this time I did my first meditation through The Monroe Institute. I also read the declassified CIA documents on the Gateway Process.

I even unfollowed all my friends on Instagram so my algorithm would be filled with the things I actually wanted to learn about.

I was having incredibly vivid dreams and intentionally trying to influence them by choosing what I read before falling asleep.

There were even more interesting experiences to come, including one involving a Facebook Marketplace purchase a few months later. A lot was happening.

Hyper-analyzing my whole life and trying to figure out how to break through to the next level.

I'm time-maxed. DreamCat is at an $89,000 market cap. I joined another course to learn new skills.

"Sometimes I feel on top of the world. Other times I wonder how I'm going to do it all."

I still don't consider myself successful. This past year and a half has felt like I was winning and losing at the exact same time.

Filed Trademark for Dream Cat.

I reread Jim Rohn's Leading an Inspired Life. As I flipped through the pages, I came across an idea I had written in the margins back in 2019.

To my surprise, that idea is now my life's dream.

I thought it first came to me in 2023, but looking back, the seed had actually been planted six years earlier while reading that book.

I realized I had been living on autopilot, and the city I called home no longer had the same meaning it once did.

So I decided to move to Orlando, the theme park capital of the world. The warmer weather was an added bonus.

Whether you love Disney or not, there's something special about places that inspire imagination and remind people to dream. As we build Dream Cat, I can't help but wonder what lessons we can learn from the success of Mickey Mouse.

It wasn't part of the plan, but my old car needed a major repair. Instead of fixing it, I decided it was time to buy a new one.

I came here planning to continue the habits and routine I had built, but one by one those doors slammed shut.

After a lot of reflection, I came to the conclusion that it was finally time to go all in on my dreams.

I'd never truly gone all in on my dreams before.

I first visited Walt Disney World in 2021. Now I live here with an annual pass, getting to experience it whenever I want.

When I stop and think about it, I'm only here because of my thoughts. 

That's a crazy shift.

Proximity is power.

I finally launched The Cat Collective Index. A 20 page PDF analyzing 90 different cat projects in the space. It started as an ambitious goal now it's real.

This year I also created the 53 Page PDF Roadmap for Dream Cat

I started the Dreamers Library Book Club where we covered Think and Grow Rich.

Added New stickers for the Telegram, got a dream cat music bot, got a AI content generator inside the bot.

Got a camera, proper lightning, and hired a coach to help me level up the podcast image. Now Dream Talk has a studio set up.

Next trying to realign personal brand and take the next steps forward with the vision of Dream Cat and inspiring the world to Dream.

A three-year dream became reality, but only because it became necessary for me to move forward.

When I looked at my vision wall, it was dominated by three things: the world's greatest libraries, the greatest theme parks, and the best Christmas destinations.

There were wins, there were misses, and there are still a few left to accomplish.

Libraries

• New York Public Library & The Morgan Library ✅
• The Vienna National Library ✅
• The Admont Abbey Library (Austria) ❌
• The Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.) ❌

Theme Parks

• Europa-Park (Germany) ✅
• Walt Disney World (4 Parks) ✅
• Universal Orlando ✅
• Universal Islands of Adventure ✅
• Epic Universe ✅
• Disneyland Paris ❌
• Tokyo DisneySea (Pending)
• Tokyo Disneyland (Pending)
• Universal Studios Japan (No longer a priority)
• Disney California Adventure (2026) ✅
• Disneyland (California) (2026) ✅
• Universal Studios Hollywood (No longer a priority)

A three-year dream became reality, but only because it became necessary for me to move forward.

The current vision wall was dominated by three things: the world's greatest libraries, the greatest theme parks, and the greatest Christmas destinations. Together they made up about 65% of the entire board.

1. London, England ✅

• Hyde Park Winter Wonderland
• St. Paul's Cathedral
• Regent Street Christmas lights

2. Cologne, Germany ✅

• Cathedral Christmas Market
• Heinzels Wintermärchen Market
• Three additional Christmas markets
• Heidelberg Castle (2 attempted visits, both unsuccessful)

3. Vienna, Austria ✅

• Vienna City Hall Christmas Market & Ice Skating Rink
• Wiener Christkindlmarkt
• Christmas Market at Am Hof
• Schönbrunn Palace
• Four historic churches

One of the greatest Christmas destinations in the world.

4. Paris, France ✅

• Grand Palais ice skating rink
• Galeries Lafayette Christmas tree
• Notre-Dame Cathedral
• Eiffel Tower
• Christmas markets and Baroque churches
• Colmar, France (Didn't make it)

Switzerland ❌

• Christmas train routes
• Grindelwald mountain village

Planned but never happened.

I could still go, but it's no longer high on my priority list.

5. Moscow, Russia ✅

• Red Square
• The Kremlin

This was the biggest challenge of them all.

Sanctions, getting a visa in person in New York City, no credit cards, very little English, and the fewest comforts. Yet it was one of the destinations I wanted to experience the most.

It lived up to everything I hoped it would be.

6. Okhta Park, St. Petersburg, Russia ✅

Based on all the research I've done and my own experience, I believe this is the most magical Christmas destination in the world.

An ice skating trail winding through a snow-covered pine forest with Christmas lights, music, fire pits, and deer. It felt like walking through a Christmas movie.
