Hi all –
A little while back, I sent a YouTube video link to my friend, Rob. Here is his reply:
Kevin,
I was away on a business trip and so only got to this
recently. It's pretty interesting -- thanks for sending it.
On a related note, I'm moving to Tibet - bye.
Rob.
Now don’t be concerned. He’s not REALLY moving to Tibet ( I hope). Although, come to think of it, you
probably have no feelings one way or the other about the situation since you
don’t know Rob. But I know Rob and
would be sorry to see him go.
Anyway, the point is that sometimes, like Rob, we get fed up with our situation and want to
jettison our lives so we can start fresh somewhere else, preferably halfway
around the world. The implication
is that we want to get as far away from our current problems as possible. This is why the statement “….I’m moving
to Tibet – bye” packs more of a punch
than, say, “… I’m moving to Reno – bye.”
It’s sometimes fun to envision making a radical change to
our lives, especially if we are stressed out at work or just wanting a change
in our daily routine. Maybe you’ve
been a wafer fabricator for umpteen years and could do it in your sleep. There’s not much challenge in the job
and your inner creativity is getting restless. So you start to daydream about being a travel agent and
seeing the world or wonder what your life would be like as a Hollywood
star.
So have a little fun.
Take some time to think about making a major change to your life. In these reveries, money is no object nor is anything else. Rob is moving to Tibet. Where would you go?
What would you like to do?
What would you like to be?
Who would you like to go with you?
What would a perfect day look like for you?
As for me, sometimes I wonder what it would be like to, say,
write a blog. If I had any talent
as a writer, that is.
And, BTW (by the way), here is the video link I sent to Rob:
Cheers!
Kevin
