axlrw,
This isn't big stuff. This is like teenage philosophy stuff. Believe it or not, your road has been gone down before. Repeatedly. By millions.
I give you credit though for being forthright and putting your beliefs out there. It may seem like no one in your crowd has thoughts like you, but take the world as a whole and its history, and...millions have thought along the lines you're thinking.
I'd suggest reading some of the top philosophers of history. Nietchze might be a good start. Don't know if you're ready for that though. Though you are describing a rudimentary version of his SuperMan thing.
Mixed in with the swampy junk, I think you're coming upon some great ideas.
Primarily, the idea that we do, to a large degree, create our reality.
Not 100% though, as you sometimes seem to suggest.
I do not believe I can change the deal about the sun coming up in the east every day. I didn't create that.
But in this world, I can create myself into being many many different things. You are right about that.
We create ourselves and our reality, to an extent.
Take that idea and run with it.
What is the highest thing you could imagine doing in this existence? The very highest? Go for it.
Too often we let others define us, our limits, etc.
The moment I realized that I had a huge part in creating my reality and my destiny, yep, that was huge.
But I think you exist.
Perhaps you only exist to teach me a life lesson, but I'll still allow you the value of existing, and I thank you for it.
I went a little far down that path you're speaking of once. Started thinking other things didn't exist.
Why not go play in the freeway? The cars don't really exist, right?
oops....I guess that was a mistake
However, I do value the breakthrough I think you've made; that the main thing holding us back in life is: ourselves.
