How To Have A Life-changing Experience
Can you really plan a life-changing experience, or do they just
happen? Are they accident's of fate, inherited life forces, or
can they be experiences the we choose?
A brief story. Soon after graduating I left home for adventure
and discovery, and perhaps a life-changing experience. My mind
was virtually a blank canvas for experience to paint a path for
my future. I traveled afar and engaged in different employments
in different places. I met many interesting people, in
interesting places on my journey to discover what I wanted to do
with the rest of my life. A year passed. I'd had a fantastic
time, but, I hadn't really discovered where my future lay.
I returned home and took up employment related to my degree
WITHOUT a passion. To cut a long story short, despite moving
around the world I continued in unfulfilling employment and
wondered how things could change. So many times have I heard
reports of devastating experiences or holidays of a lifetime but
are they really? Is a life-changing experience one that shapes a
moment in time or is it an experience that we savor day in, day
out, for the rest of our lives. Isn't the real experience the
present and our thoughts we want to capture, and remember, and
become a foundation for our existence.
It was some years before I really manage to to grasp my life to
make it a 'life-changing' experience that we all seek. You can
explore the world in search of life's riches but until you're
really appreciate that you can mould your existence, you may not
find that life-changing experience. Take time to explore your
mind and discover who you are, and who you want to be, before
you leave home. You'll then be on a journey that you can savor
with a passion.
