As my journey has come to a close I want to thank you all for your support! I'm still alive! And what an unforgettable trip with unbelievable experiences. It's bitter sweet that this trip has ended but now I'll get to see you soon! As a farewell here are some of my lessons learned.
Take time to slow down and reflect. Society speeds up the world around us by bombarding us with useless information that we can never fully process making us think and feel as if we don't have enough time. Filter out the nonsense and take time to enjoy and really live in the moments that make us happy and then we'll realize how lucky we truly are.
A smile/goodwill goes a long way and can make a lasting impression.
Live in the moment. You never know if you'll get another opportunity.
Some lessons are better learned through 1st hand experience. And envy those who will get to experience for the 1st time what makes you happy...live again through their experience: the initial anticipation, the unknown, and the rush of adrenaline to remember what got you hooked.
When I first quit my job I thought to myself, "I'm putting my career on hold, maybe even setting it back" but now I realize if I didn't quit I would have put my life on hold, maybe even set it back.
Initially I thought this was more of a quarter life crisis trip, to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life in terms of a career while experiencing the world as a bonus. But as I continue through my journeys I'm realizing my priorities: my career does not dictate who I am. A career is just an extension of me and/or a means to justify an end. This journey is rather a means of truly understanding myself.
I believe that the key to humanity is to put someone else's needs before your own. Like a mother does for her child or a husband to his wife. To be able to put yourself on hold, to be selfless, that's what sets us apart.
This is very clique but, think before you speak. It's definitely easier to say than do.
