Life Is A Journey – Make It A Worthwhile One…

How's Your Life's Journey Going?

Does your journey look like the picture on the right?

Now….be honest about it.

 

If it is, don’t feel bad, you are not alone, especially with the recent Epidemic Panic and resulting restrictions being imposed by the governments. At one time or another most of us will find ourselves facing bumps, stops and detours along our life’s journey. Like the drawing above, we may even find ourselves wondering were to next. I trust that the information shared on this site will be encouraging and help to spark new ideas and actions that will help you move forward along your life’s journey. Perhaps even change your life’s direction.

First, let me clarify why I believe that life is a journey. You may disagree with me on this one and argue that life is a series of goals that one sets in front of oneself and if snags are encountered along the way, they can even become an endpoint to ones’ journey. Witness how the COVID epidemic has impacted each of our lives. It may be a change in our life style, how we view our educational system, a change in career, etc.

I think you’ll agree with me that once our momentum stops or comes to a crawl, it’s much harder to get going again and decisions need to be made. Besides, that path you were on, may no longer be available and in many cases that’s the end. Whereas viewing life as a journey, the goals, as well as the unexpected snags and rough patches can become lessons and be part of your life’s journey. For instance, let’s say you are on a trip to a favorite vacation spot, even if you were to get a flat tire, you’d get it fixed and continue on your way. The same with life.

Making Those Life Pivots: Although most of us have and will continue to run into situations like the COVID-19 interruption where everything seemed to stop. Some of the best moves in life happen at times when we think all’s lost. Perhaps now’s the time for that move that’s been in the back of your mind for a while.

It’s Hard To Go On A Journey If Your Body Says No: Perhaps the most important asset we have in this world is our health. Without it, our journey can be severely restricted. Some of the actions that will help with that journey: Live a life of moderation, minimize stress, eat healthy, exercise regularly, even if it’s just a walk, and take care of those microbial passengers in your gut.

The “9-5 Job” is Dead: The Internet has opened new avenues that even a few years ago were just not available to us. COVID, just accelerated its adoption by the masses.  We can now instantaneously reach an individual or hundreds, across the world and communicate as if they were next door. More and more of us are trading the idea of a 9-5 job for new business opportunities made available to us through the Internet. Whether a “side hustle” or a multi-million dollar venture. Witness, Uber, AirBnB or Turo where the entire enterprise can be run from ones’ home.

The opportunities for exploring one’s entrepreneurial ideas have never been in greater. See my what If Blog.

Explore: Have you ever taken a long weekend and gone hiking among 1,000 plus year old Redwoods, skiing, canoeing, or some other activity that requires or draws your attention?  Going to a Spa or golfing with your buddies does not count, because you’re still able to talk or think about work or a related issue. When participating in an activity totally away from your routine, you not only relax but, also may come away with a totally new viewpoint.
