RE: Mobbs' Memoirs: The first time I leaped out of my comfort zone, and how it led to where I am today

in #blog7 years ago

Sometimes, the action that defines our future is "taking the first step". A lot of people fail because they were too afraid to take the first step. I am glad you have a success story for this experience. It is a motivation to people like me who are just starting life!
Waiting patiently for subsequent posts!

Well I wouldn't necessarily call mine a success story, but it depends how you define it. It has brought so much more colour to my life than I could have imagined back then yeah, but at the same time it still comes with 8 years of various regrets!

Life shouldn't be about constantly striving for success, imo. But you're right, everybody should take those steps that they always make excuses to themselves not to

Well i guess it is what the individual defines success as. I think you've come a long way, there's still plenty of ways to go, but you have already seen, done and achieved so much, and it's not all about money = success, it's about how free and worthwhile you can make your life ,how much you can feel satisfied, and i think you're doing pretty darn well working hard on the things you love, making differences and supporting others where you can as you go... whilst raising a silly Smash-cat on the side :D

And i def remember how I felt when I first walked down a foreign road with lights and signs galore, in fact I imagine it would still drag up the nerves even now, overwhelmingly beautiful but terrifyingly busy and big... and always, always being done over by annoying taxi people.

I agree with @grottbags, by success, i wasn't referring to money. @mobbs a lot of us look up to you and admire you, that itself is a measure of success!

Definitely! :D

Good point! Though seems a little surreal hearing that =P

hehe! always nice having you here
