Kitni Haseen Hai Ye Duniya....Yuhi chala chal rahi....

I was just asking myself last evening, what I wanted to do with my life and sometimes when I am honest with myself none of the answers match with the job description of my current work profile. I admire the myriad consumer insights that my mind dissects whenever I am on the road, or watching a commercial, or organizing mind blasting events….but what has really interested me is the spirit of long time world travel. Sometimes I ask myself, when is a good time to quit the job and do that, I realize that as long as I keep working, Murphy's law will keep giving me expenses and make me greedy with my so called lil money.

Secondly, What would be the impact on my career of a break for 6 months/year for activities that the world dubs 'frivolous and crazy'? Would it be tough for me to get another well paying job?

Thirdly, Do I need shit loads of monies for world travel?

Looking at these questions, I sense that somewhere down the line, very sadly education instead of enabling my mind, has actually blocked my thinking when it comes to a vocation. I guess when faced with a crisis, people innovate and try to find disruptive businesses that generates income. Why cant I think of what goes on in the mind of someone who has a food business, some one who is a bartender, some one who is a tour guide, who is a masseur ? I guess education has blanked me in making me a product brand/event manager who apart from high end strategies, cant really think about what other facets in life can offer. I was thinking of the above 3 professions as avenues for meeting various people and also earning, and all of these 3 could be done while I am traveling. Living like a local in a different part of the world each year. Wow…if this dream comes true..its gonna be suppa awesome..!!

Do I really care that I don't have a house or a car of my own? Do I really care what my neighbor or relatives think of me? I probably don't and thats why I see an opportunity in chasing the life that one wants. I have always been very enthused by the very idea of Round-The-World travel. I am beginning to get the feeling that the Life one wants is never far away. We just get entangled in the cobwebs of the mind, which has been trained to ignore thoughts from the heart.

In today's time, there are the outliers who have done this and are successful in their lives, and given that the web is a lovely resource for connecting with people and shedding inhibitions, it shouldn't be a problem in finding such people. Its never too late to start living the life one wants. Maybe I should put faith in intuition and the heart a little more than the brain. Jus waiting for that D day…!!
