A birthday Promise Myself
Today is my birthday. I am 33 years old.
I'm not a fan of birthdays. It's not like today is different from yesterday. My thoughts, feelings, successes and failures are still the same. It is the time between the birthdays that changes us, not the day itself. And anyway, why celebrate a day of your life? every day Let's Celebrate life. I like to treat every day as my birthday.
However, as I look back on another year, I feel very stale. Life feels dry. This blog feels dry. Everything feels dry. Thirty-2-33 was a year of great growth for me, both professionally and personally. But that has not changed the fact there is a creeping sense of staleness comes over me.
Then I came across this blog post from last year about all the things I wanted to do before I was thirty-five.
in the last year I have reached none of them.
sure saw last year they visit me a few new countries, but I do not feel like I've gone on a great adventure. I feel'm like a rat race to the same places back over and over and over again. While I grateful I am for all occasions, to know the people who make and I get, and the places that I can go, I do not feel as if my travels grow, nor am I grow.
was this list is to concentrate, but instead it is digitally collected dust. Like so many others, I dreamed big, talked big and made big plans - but when it came down to it, I just shrugged his shoulders and said: ". Life in the way" There was always a conference or too much work, or an event in New York City.
and while I behind my decision are living in New York City and the street life to balance, I realized it's time to stop making excuses to do and follow my own advice. The only way to really to ensure "life does not get in the way" is to commit - to book the ticket and counted down the days. It's easy to say: "I will," but book through the ticket, you are bound. How can I encourage people to "just go" if I do not
So I booked yesterday tickets - this airplane tickets - and to be held accountable, I publish it here. During my summer is filled with group travel throughout Europe, beginning in the fall, it's time for new adventures is!
mid-September, I eventually going to Iceland. I've talked a lot about going to Iceland, but it's finally time to make it happen:
I have my friend were promising I would visit them in Hong Kong for more than a year now, and for a super cheap ticket to find (only $ 1k round trip from NYC), I booked it:
on November 2, I am a way to Puerto Rico flying to spend 4-6 weeks traveling in the Caribbean. I always want the region to travel by boat, and it is time to finally do that. I have no itinerary. I only go to the south and east of Puerto Rico and see where the wind takes me:
For New Year, I will visit the Philippines or Argentina, but ticket prices are near $ 2,000 right now, so I'm going to wait for and see if prices come or which award tickets available.
There you have it. Tickets are booked. There is no turning back. It's time to go to discover some new places, rather than the old by revisiting.
The next year will be all to repeat new adventure, not the old.
This is my birthday ... promise me and you.
