Would you Ever make a Lateral Move?

For my 100th post (eeek) I decided that I would ponder you all with a little bit of a hypothetical situation. It's going to be complicated to write about because in order to really get into my non-medical theories I would have to know your response to my question. But for shits and giggles I will just dive right in and hope for the best. So here goes...

Randomly today I asked a friend this simple question - If you could be any 'Average Joe/Jane' (man or woman...it doesn't matter) for one day...who would you be? His response is why we get along so well despite having so many differences. He said - "Me. I wouldn't want to be anyone else." And while that may sound like complete bullshit to most people it was truly enlightening because I would say the same thing. And then he said what an interesting question it was because 'who makes a lateral move?'

Which lead me to writing this blog. More often than not when people are asked - If you could be anyone in the world for a day, who would you be? They are going to name someone famous...someone who accomplished something tremendous and received a significant amount of recognition for it...you get the point. When asked that same question WITHOUT the money, fame, and whatever else those people have - it becomes a lot harder.

Here's why this is a trick question - in my non-medical opinion. If you give anyone but yourself as your answer - you are admitting - without knowing it - that you in fact do have some faults or things about yourself or your life that you wish were different. That doesn't mean you are wrong to think this - but you are also probably too lazy or afraid to change it. And instead of doing so, you will more often than not just continue to go about your daily life as if you are perfectly happy when deep down...you might want to be doing something different....or differently.

Just think about it. Let me know what your answer would be and I would imagine I would have more pseudo-clinical comments.

Until next time...goodnight.
