Steve, why are you doing this?
I regularly ask myself this very question. I also enquire: ‘What are you doing?’ with alarming frequency. I found a quote on someone else’s blog which I think is not only profound, answers these questions aptly:
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.” ~ Robert Heinlein (1907-1988)
I don’t know who Robert was but his quote makes me recall my original ambition to step outside of my comfort zone and explore the World. Having lived my dream for the last couple of years I feel very happy. I also reviewed my first entry on this blog and saw how one of my goals was to learn Chinese. I had forgotten about this. However, it must have remained in my subconscious as I am pursuing that goal now.
Anyway, this post is just an excuse to get this quote on my blog as I really relate to it. Also, it might prompt other readers to escape the drudgery of a money-orientated Western existence.
Am I talking bollicks? In this case…..certainly.
