RE: Catharsis: Journey to an unknown destination
I completely agree @brains. You have got to live a life based around living your own life and pursuing your own dreams. This is what I call "Living a life worth living" or "Be Now not later." To not do this would be to live out of alignment with your identity and this always leads to an unhappy life.
Good luck with your travels! I'm sure the adventure is going to be something you never look back and wish you hadn't taken the first step.
I followed you because I'm thinking that your probably going to take us all on a fantastic adventure! This is the type of stuff that inspires me to make my own dreams a reality and of course it's the people doing extra that are exceptional. That's good energy to be around so please continue to share your life journey with us here on SteemIt! :)

It's terrifying to make the first step, but I think that everyone should follow their dreams if they have the opportunity and will to do so. Thank you for the positive vibes ;)
F.E.A.R. is False Evidence Appearing Real. I remember the times when fear was very real for me... Until I realized that it was far more painful to ask myself "What if?" Imagine getting to the end of your life and realizing that you didn't actually do what you wanted to do.
Often it takes a S.E.E. (Sudden Emotional Event) to move people into acting on their dreams... But I have been learning that it's better to chose your values and thereby the type of pain you will experience. At least this way you get to chose.
So much of life is about sacrifice. Life at its core is all about choosing... and as soon as you choose a direction you immediately sacrifice something. Coming to grips with this aspect of life and living can be frightening... But I have always looked at it like this...
Everyone thinks that they are living secure and safe lives... Its not until you realize that life isn't safe and secure at all. That's an illusion. We have all jumped out of the airplane with out our parachutes on... It's something we all have in common so I find it sort of humorous to see people living their lives as carefully as they can when in actuality... They don't have their parachute on at all!
Yes... It's all about calculated risks... But life is risky... and fortune favors the bold and brave!
For me it's all about setting longevity goals in alignment with my authentic self and really focusing on the values I want to care about during my life time... After that is set it's more about throwing yourself into the things that inspire you and give you life every single day (doing it every day compounds your results!) and allowing the rest to fall away. I subscribe to the less is more mindset.
Something I learned is that positive energy is twice as powerful as negative energy... if you train your mind to think in this regard that is.
Got any feedback/insights for me?
Stepping forward takes a lot of guts some days and I have realized that so much of where I am today is because of the support (or lack thereof) from the people around me. I'm trying my best to remain open and SteemIt has been fantastic for this! :)
Hope my thoughts inspire you to continue stepping forward! :)
