DO..... not GO


I recently went to a speaker that talked about traveling and becoming a traveler. In his most meaningful quote of the presentation he said "choose where you want to go, not by where you know you want to go, but by what you want to do." This was confusing at first but makes a lot of sense to me now.

It is difficult to find time to travel but I think this same quote goes for everyday life. The path that you choose through out life and through out your day directly relates to what you actually want to DO not were you want to GO. So decide what you want to do and well..... do it (where ever that may be). It is important to set a path that has meaning to you personally, not to those around you or what you are "supposed" to be doing. Proving you can get somewhere in your life to others does absolutely nothing for you, it only makes your life more out of control..... that is, more out of your control.

Ultimately.... life is what YOU want to DO and only what YOU want to DO. So take initiative and decide what it is that you want to do in life or even tomorrow afternoon and let that dictate where it is you're going in life.

DiFFerREntTTT


It is incredible how being and feeling so different from those around you makes you embrace your "differentness" even more. Some very important people just told me guys see all girls as the exact same person... like they're one in the same. So this would then mean that if one person could catch their eye, that one person who could maybe make them look twice, then that person would have to be different. That these guys would be attracted to someone who chooses to be different. Because its important to make an impact right? Blending in seems boring and "so last year," but am I right in assuming this? Is it actually true that being that one neon chick in the crowd of browns and blacks is the right thing to be doing?................. yup. plain and simple. Embrace being different. One might get a lot of strange looks and questionable reactions but in the end, after its all said and done, that neon chick is going to feel proud of standing out. and maybe, just maybe, she could get others to follow. The one guy dressed in plaid with the wavy, messed up hair and some fresh sneaker game will find her too... at least, that's what she's hoping for...................

So is that chick you?
