This is a great quote, and I cannot agree more:
It is so easy to get bogged down into a state of reacting rather than being proactive. Travelling gives a thousand foot view of ones life, clarifying and honing in on what really matters.
Whenever I'm home I feel like I'm being progressively compressed down, by responsibility and habit and a thousand little things that seem more important than they really are, into a smaller and smaller box until I either break out or else become permanently square. Travel is how I break out of that box. I always come home excited, heart full of ideas and opportunity and a knowing that anything is possible, only to get trapped in the box again until I can find my way out and travel once more.
I absolutely understand what you are talking about. @cryptoctopus and I use future authoring, a goal-creating course. It is so easy to forget about those big goals. I just heard Jordan Peterson say "you aim what you see." If only we can keep our sights on those goals.
Ohhh! I saw @cryptoctopus mention the self-authoring suite in a post from a few months ago and it reminded me that I'd had Jordan Peterson's course bookmarked for a very long time; I'd intended to look into it but never did. An inauspicious start to accomplishing long term goals, but I guess that show I could benefit from the course.
Is it something that you would recommend? :)
