Living the Dream: This is IT!
Organize, organize, and organize some more. The excitement of heading back on the road
involves a lot of “getting ready” tasks. It’s all part of moving on, and we all have to do that sometime.
As we go about our lives, we are facing many challenges. We are challenged to wake up and interact with others. It is up to us to create the life that works for us. Sometimes what we think is going to be a simple task becomes an extremely frustrating experience. I have been distracted by several projects that are important but take me away from creating regular podcast episodes. I have found a few ways that seem to help me spend some time on my long-term goal.
Today I share with you some of my experience with living a somewhat nomadic life. It’s mostly fun and rewarding, but sometimes it can be challenging. Right now, we’re organizing for our departure from our home base in Maine. The plan is to leave shortly after the Labor Day holiday. Our first stop will involve a short travel day of less than 200 miles. Going forward we hope to travel around 350 miles per travel day. Spending some time at certain stops.
We will inevitably face some challenges along this journey of self-fulfillment.
Today we’ll discuss some of those challenges and how to surmount such
obstacles.
Dashed Expectations harm ourselves
and our relationships. We can overcome this by relinquishing control over
anything outside of ourselves.
Criticism and judgement from friends and family is a fear that many of us share. We can overcome this and it gets easier and easier as we go forward.
Learning something new is a constant struggle. Whether it’s technology or terminology, we can learn what we need to. Asking for help opens up new avenues.
