I don’t have a clue.  I went to school, got a degree, and went straight into a career without giving too much time to the thought of what it is that I really want to do with my short time on this earth.  I suppose I did what I did because I thought I had to.  Kids have dreams and aspirations of doing something fun, exciting, and world-altering.  At some point, life, school, and society convince us that those goals may not be achievable and/or practical .  Always follow your dream!  Unless of course that dream doesn’t fall into a certain mold of what society expects of us.  Some people latch onto their passions and talents, and make it work no matter what society tells them they should be doing.  I envy those people, and am making a concerted effort to become one of those people, I just hope it’s not too late.

I have realized that I’m at my best in the beauty that is the wilderness, no matter what I’m doing in it.  It’s limitless, exciting, and removed from all of the pressures of those practical goals.  It doesn’t take much to change the world, all it takes is a singular idea, or action, of selfless intention and creativity, that could change the course of someone’s life for the better.  Make an impact one one person’s life for the better, and change the world, even if by a small margin.   I don’t feel that I can reach my full potential in my current situation, as there are far too many distractions to really give full concentration into thinking about what I want to do with the rest of my life.  I don’t dedicate enough time to thinking, learning, and creating, as it’s difficult to do so with a full-time job, a house, a car, and countless other distractions.

I’ve grown accustomed to desensitizing myself to the world by whatever the distraction du jour.  My goal is get rid of enough distractions in my life in order to have the time to think about what I really want to do with my life, and focus more on what I believe to be most important.   Such a monumental question that I’ve hardly been able to consider them given the distractions I’m faced with.  I’ve already spent enough of my youth doing what I’m supposed to be doing and pleasing the societal norm.   I didn’t buy the motorhome and come up with my plan to quit my job and discard my belongings as a rebel against society.  I’m doing it to find out how I can be of better use, and in order to figure that out, I feel it’s right to remove myself from as many distractions possible in order to think.  I would like to inspire people to be their best, and figure out how to be at my best, because for as long as I can remember, I’ve never honestly dedicated myself to much of anything.  I’ve never been so passionate about school or work that I’ve really given it everything that I’ve got, and I need to find that something that will motivate me to try harder than I ever have before.

Time is absolutely the most valuable thing that we have, and I’m tired of spending so much of it on things of no great consequence.  It’s a difficult question to ask myself, how I want to spend my time, especially while I’m young.  So much of my time is already spoken for that there really isn’t enough leftover to figure out the answer.  It’s easy to say that I just want to be happy, no matter where I spend my time, and for the most part, I am.  The only times I find that dark cloud hanging over my head is when I’m overwhelmed with things that I don’t want to do.  Life’s a delicate balance of doing things I don’t want to do for some greater good, and squeezing in little slivers of time to do the things I really enjoy.  The ultimate goal of my excursion is simply to adjust this ratio.
