Walter Mitty ???

So here's a question, Do you have the Walter Mitty Life ? I guess more to the point do you have a vivid fantasy life or are you getting out there living it ?

I look back on my life so far with a smile. I think I have lived a fairly eventful life thus far. I've been lucky enough to travel the world, have worked as a farm hand, have been lucky enough to travel and now live overseas. I've also loved and lost (that's just part of life). The best for me is the people I have met and formed friendships with along this journey (some of the most genuine people in the world).

So what hasn't been done ? Well there is still a lot of things to do........For one thing Africa and South Africa have always been a dream. And i'd love to see the colosseum, pyramid of Giza and walk the great wall, just to name a few.

But it's also the little things, to sit and watch the sun go down over the water with some great mates or to watch your kids grow knowing that you have been a part of that.........

I guess my point is that I never want to work for the rest of my life and not experience life itself. You can have both the career you desire and the life that you dream of.....Let's face it you only live once and there is no dress rehearsal........

Benjamin Franklin once wrote:

"One today is worth two tomorrows"

 

Or better still and my favourite quote of all time:

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain"

Vivian Greene

Choose to live........
