You see most of us go through life as a TOURIST we follow all the popular sites and all the popular crowds to all the trending places and we try to memorialize everything on a selfie stick. Imagining sometime in the future, we could recapture the past.
We have an itinerary, a schedule, a destination and a fixed idea of what we’re going to see in the main attractions and if things go wrong or detour, WE FALL APART! Is it possible for us to go through life in another way? Not as a tourist but instead as something else.
How about we go through life as a TRAVELER?? Traveler has a very different mindset. In the mind of traveler there is simply destination to be reached and the true jewel of life lies in its journey. The traveler understand that life is not meant to be lived as a documentation for some point in the future but instead to be fully experienced in the here and now.
So who you will be? A tourist who follows the beaten path. Who always looking for where the crowds go, looking at life from the outside in. Or are you going to be a traveler who takes the road less traveled. Who’s in touch with the locals. Who accepts that nothing is predictable or safe. For whom everything is an adventure. Who looks at life from the inside out. The traveler understands that the life well lived is the life lived in the present moment. No itinerary, no selfie stick, no destination and no baggage. The tourist is always looking for the next trip, the traveler for their next journey to truly live you have to be willing, to be alive, be present and travel deep into your destiny.
