The Adventure Begins

I did it. I conquered my fears and went against the advice of others. I am now unemployed and must say that it was the best decision that I have ever made. Long have I yearned for freedom from the nine to five and dreamed of traveling the world.

Yes, world travel is also on the menu. First stop is Bangkok, Thailand. This is seriously stuff that dreams are made of. I feel so fortunate to be experiencing this. It is a shame that other people get tied down, beat down, and shut down by financial pressures, jobs, etc. These can be overcome, like any obstacle, with persistence, dedication, and a positive outlook. However most people feel trapped and will give any number of reasons (*cough*excuses*cough) as to why things are the way they are. In reality though, we all have made choices throughout our lives that have led us to the present moment. Some good, some bad. All things that have shaped who we are.

So this is what it's all about, lifestyle design. Sure, different cards have been dealt to different people; that is beyond our control. Only thing we can do is make the best of what we have got. If you are truly happy in where you are at and would not dream of being or doing anything else on a daily basis, then that is absolutely fantastic and keep on living it up! However, I believe that is rare in society, at least from my short existence in this world.

So get off the couch, get on the internet and do some research, talk to people you care about, and dream big. Most people don't go for their dreams and live large, so the odds are in your favor should you decide to make the jump. The blue or the red pill? It's your choice.
