We have become unaccustomed to direct experiences. We have lost confidence to perceive for ourselves. We don't want to read a book or see a new movie premiere until someone (an "expert") sees it first and tells us what to think. Terrified of our our own original, authentically personal perspective...we wait. And wait. Until someone gives us the go ahead to experience it for ourselves. And then, courageously, we venture out armed with the deadly opine of someone else and make direct contact with it.
Life, we have come to fear it and go to extraordinary lengths to avoid it. We succumb to fears of ridicule, failure, disease, snakes or whatever our self-imposed terror of the day may be only to whine that "our" lives are unfulfilled. Talk about a road to nowhere....
And what's really pathetic, we envy those we perceive to have one!
(Where's my soapbox? Oh, it's under my feet.)
Don't you think you should probably experience your own life without the Cliff's Notes of someone else? There is an excellent possibility this is the only life your gonna get. On this Earth, anyway. You already know I'm the bettin' kind and pretty good at picking winners. So, go ahead and get on a plane. Find yourself, pick up your pieces and come back more whole. I'm bettin' its a winning proposition. Send me a comment; let me know what you think; or just ask me for directions at TheTravelValet@gmail.com.
