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 travelled 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 unfulfiling 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 savour 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 savour with a passion.
