So there’s a flurry of new Year’s Resolutions and everyone struggling to keep up with them as we steady ourselves through the first week of the new year of 2012. The year we will hear of people selling all of their possessions and living their life to the utmost fullest so that when 'The End of The World' comes about they don't feel as guilty for not living as they would have.
My question is:
why have you failed at living so much? If you have the ideas and the plans what has stopped you so far?
For me, I'm only just reaching my final year of high school so that and parental controls have been my stop sign. I dream as others do, I want to travel and see the world, I want to save a life -thus I don't ask for someone to be in the need of saving-, and I want to road trip just to see my own country.
Everyone says South Africa is such an amazing place to be, the weathers good, the beaches are enjoyable, the mountains are incredible and the animals abundant (if we could finally stop killing them), but for me I've seen Cape Town a bit of the south-east coast, the north coast and the berg. That's like a cool story for a foreigner but I feel ashamed not knowing what 3 of our 7 provinces might look like.
That's one of my resolutions, as soon as I turn 18 and get my car I want to go on a road trip.
So back to the topic...
This is the 8th day into supposedly the last year of your life, believe it, but don't sell all your crap or quit your job unless it’s absolutely necessary just LIVE! It’s a good time to try, think of your kids and grandkids and the stories you could tell them.
This year will be epic and I hope you believe it too.
Have a blessed one. xoxo
