The Road Less Travelled

I woke up this morning with another revelation and this article on my FB newsfeed confirmed it. 

Your 20s are when you establish your career and start putting down some roots. But, it's also the perfect time to create wonderful memories and experience all that life has to offer, while you're young and free. While many are well-established in their careers by the age of 25, many others (like myself) have decided to take the scenic route. 

Scenic routes are fun. You get to see so many things that many others miss out on and you get to stop and go at your own pace to take in the beauty and smell the roses. 

Along the way you meet awesome people who have also chosen the road less travelled. 

I am not where I want to be in life but I know that it is all a journey and a big part of the journey is enjoying the ride. Life is an individual event, make it what you want it to be. 

Sometimes You Just Have To

FACT OF LIFE

If you want a great job,

you gotta make sure 

you have darn good skills or

expert knowledge. 

Or know someone who knows someone you can seduce. 

Carpe Diem, Baby

There is so much life to live.

So much. 

It's easy to understand how people get content so quickly. 

They feel safe and secure and BAMMM!! They're in a comfort zone. 

I know how easy it is to 'settle down' and become content. 

While most people DO WANT to get out there and enjoy life, it's usually the execution that slows them down. 

"I don't have enough money. I don't have time. I'm too old. What about my kids?"

Here's my response to all of you making excuses:

Take a risk. Try something new. Something different. It doesn't cost a thing (well, depending on the
type of risk.)

Cease the moment, cease the day :) 

Your Purpose In Life

There is a plan and purpose for all our lives. 

We all have a destiny. 

Sometimes it takes a day, a week, or even months and years to figure out what your purpose is.

I have learned that God has a funny way of showing you where you need to be and what you need to be doing. 

When things don't go our way,

We question Life. We question God. We question the Universe. 

Just remember things may not always go our way but there is certainly a reason. 

Whatever happens in your life is part of a bigger picture. 

Even those mistakes which you think are stupid. 


Remember... 

Travel, Young Person

I don't understand why people say they're gonna spend their 

retirement years traveling. 

I've been given this advice many times. 

Been told to 'get my career established first' and 'build a 

nest egg.' 



Why would anyone wanna travel when they're old, can't stay 

out later than 9pm and have medical conditions which will 

prevent them from doing stuff!?



 I wanna travel now, while I have the youthful energy to 

dance as much as I want, 

ride as many roller coasters and elephants as I want 
and 
stay out until 4am partying with the locals.




 I've been on many tours in the past and there's always that 

one retired couple in the group that look at you and tell you 

they wish they had the opportunity to travel when they were 

younger. 




Having a solid career and saving for retirement are great 

and wise but not as great as 

enjoying the journey.
