The number one question Im always asked is.
YOU WENT ALONE?
Yes, who would go with me?
I realized long ago that waiting for others to follow or come along. Id be waiting forever. Not because they dont want to go but because the commitment and work it takes to leave is harder than it seems to be.
Countless times and even to this day I still invite people to join me. Fully knowing I enjoy these trips more, solo.
It is quite surprising to hear the reasons why people back out. Most times they have good intentions. Typically its a financial or time issue. It's not that they dont have the money or time its merely a priority issue. I get it. Dreaming is fun but dealing with the reality of those dreams can be scary so we look for a way out.
Im not doing anything special or unobtainable. I am not special. These trips aren't really that special or epic. You should see who I look up to and the things they experience. The spectrum is vast in that realm. The reason I bring this up is I hear or am told wow that's crazy. To me it isn't and I do realize its all relative.
Im not doing anything that no one else can do.
I am humbled all the time.
I hope that if you watch or live vicariously through some of the things I share that you take the consideration to follow your own dreams and not let stupid little thoughts like "I cant" stop you.
I get those thoughts all the time. Im driven by my own fears. I worry about regret.
This is typically what people fear at the end of their life. "I wish I had more time, I wish I did the things."
Its a healthy conversation with your younger self about mortality.
I hope that writing this out helps in some way, either for myself or for others.
