There is a place that still has not been conquered by man and even though a few have made the journey, they have still not begun to see all that this place has to offer. Yes, some have made the trek to this place and returned to tell the stories of great fortune and adventure. Others tell of the great risks and pain of such a foolish endeavor. Some turn white and knees buckle at even the thought of such a perilous expedition. Some are “preparing” to make the journey some day, but will probably never actually get past talking about it. Some have heard how challenging and difficult it can be and really dislike the thought of such work and discomfort.
I have heard the critics and the cynics, yet, I cannot help but wonder if the rumors are true; both the good and the bad. Unfortunately or fortunately, there is only one way to find out.
What is this strange, unexplored frontier where so few have tread? A place the vast majority will never see. A place of great risk and great riches. A place common to us all and yet so foreign and unknown. A path all can take, but few will choose. What is this mysterious place that I speak? It is the journey within.
It will be uncomfortable, exhausting and can even be down-right scary at times. On the other hand, it will be exciting, fulfilling and you will do and see more than you ever thought possible.
Some might say: “I would take this journey if only…If only I had the time, money, energy; if only I was younger, smarter, more experienced”. The only thing one should consider is looking back and wondering “How things might have been different if only I dared to take the journey”.
Dream Big - Do Big!
