Some times you just have to start over from the beginning and come at things from a completely different perspective. I have been away from my blog as well as reading others for several months now. For many reasons, some seemingly justified and others not so much, I simply did not find the time. Just one of those things that you mean to do, you actually want to do, but somehow, the time never really materializes. It is funny that the older you get, time seems to become shorter and short. An hour use to be a long time…
Well, about a month ago, my perspective on some of this changed while I was up in Canada. Up there for a good friend of mine’s wedding. A little over a year ago, he and his girlfriend decided that they wanted to take six months off, and travel literally around the world. It was important to them and they made it happen. They traveled the world and had experiences that will stay with them a life time. Now you ask, how can you take six months off from work - well depending on the company, it is referred to as a leave of absence. If you work in the US, it pretty much means you roll the dice on if you have a job when you come back. Whose life it is though? What is important to you? Too many times, in fact most everyone I know, lets others dictate the priorities in their lives. Not so for my friend. He returned, and the company he worked for said, sorry. Oh well, looks like I will have to find another job…and he did.
It seems over-simplistic, but there was living proof of how to take control of your life and do the things you wanted to. Set your mind to it and make it happen, and deal with things as they come. It was just that simple. Rather than fear the unknown, take control. Rather than let others, work, etc. control the direction and priorities in your life, take them back. You only get one life and it is infinite. Live it while you have the time…”seize the day”.
Soo, as a result, acting upon one of the little things I have enjoyed in the past, I have started this blog. It is not something I have to do, it is not something I need to find time to do; it is something I enjoy and will do.
