Go confidently in the direction of your dreams,
Live the life you've imagined.
Henry Thoreau
Live the life you've imagined.
Henry Thoreau
I have seen this quote a few times over the years, but it's not until recently that a friend said it to me and it really resonated.
The reason it resonated is because I stopped and realised - I have no idea what life I've imagined. I used to have a clear vision for my life - in my high school years it was to go to uni and be a zoologist. During uni it was to travel to Africa and have adventures. After returning to Australia after years overseas it was to find a job, and earn some money. After a year of earning money I wanted to find someone to share my life with.
I now have, or have done, everything I imagined for my life. But I seem to have forgotten to imagine anything past 3o. So now I'm here, and I'm lost.
So this blog is to help me re-imagine a new life for myself and then start to live it.
