Now this is what being alive looks like!
What does it mean to be alive? As I sit here writing this before I head off to my last day of work in my office job I have a variety of mixed emotions. I have always felt like I was looking for more out of life. Growing up I always thought climbing the corporate ladder and building my career would be my dream. I thought that it would fulfil me. You need to find that passion and purpose in life, something that sets your soul on fire. That one thing that keeps you up at night, makes you get up in the morning and motivates you to take on the world.
A long time ago I realised that there is a difference between just being alive and truly living. I have spent too much time just living and going through the motions of life. I want to feel alive and to explore everything that being alive means. My soul needs to really believe in it. When I made the decision to launch myself into this nomadic world of adventure and travel, I had so many questions. My mind was racing with doubts and concerns. Sitting here today I know I’ve made the right choice because I have that burning inside me for the first time in a long time.
Looking to the future
I am genuinely excited for all of the things my future holds. I can already see the amazing adventures that are yet to unfold and I can’t wait to be truly alive! Stay tuned if you want to come along for the ride with me. Maybe you will get caught up in the magic and craziness of it all and take that leap to find something that sets your soul on fire too.
