Well that's what I'm currently feeling, especially since arriving to Bali. There is a lack of words that are able to describe the breathtaking beauty that this place effortlessly thrives with.
When you watch movies filled with amazing scenery and follow social media overwhelmed with worldly pictures you can't help but be overcome by good feelings. However, I can almost guarantee that a large amount of people feel that these are unattainable fantasies.
Why? Why is it so crazy, to see that insanely gorgeous picture of Thailands turquoise water or Bali's endlessly green lush rice fields and think, NAH! That'll never happen so let me just put that picture as the wallpaper on my phone and it'll be enough.
That picture doesn't have to be the end of the road for that desire, ultimately it should be the beginning. That picture should bring you happiness, excitement and motivation to accomplish whatever is needed to make it become a real life experience.
I see COUNTLESS Facebook accounts post this quote; "Travel while you're young and able. Don't worry about the money, just make it work. Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.", yet none of these people actually live by this.
A wise man once answered an important question for me. He was able to answer this question because he is a retired man who is currently RVing across North America and loving the traveling life.
I was curious to know, if he had had the choice would he have traveled when he was younger or had he gone down the right path of working and saving the traveling for after retirement. Without any hesitation the answer was, travel while you're young.
To some people this is a crazy but a secretly tempting thing. For most this will be put on the back burner by reason of it being too unrealistic, unpredictable and lacking security. It may be an unsettling feeling for the masses, but to me being stuck is much more of a nightmare.
As overused as that quote may be, it tells no lies and the BIGGEST favour you could ever possibly do for yourself is to live by it. Your friends and family might think you're nuts or maybe you'll think so too but at the end of it they're probably just jealous "wink".
Give yourself Peace of Mind, eliminate the thoughts of wondering what if from your mind and take the leap.
"Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around."
- Henry David Thoreau
