Why I am Traveling?

I am not sure I can say there was an exact moment when I knew I wanted to travel, it has been continuous my entire life.  I was raised to believe you work hard and support yourself so you don't have to worry about money, so that is what I did.  I graduated college with a degree in education and taught high school for three years in Florida.   Then I moved back to Boston and jumped right into a sales position before landing at John Hancock and working for 7 years.  I never thought I would work in Insurance but life is funny that way.  In my 7 year career I worked hard every day.  I made sure my work was the most important thing in my life.  I wanted to be successful and I wanted to make money.  I knew one day I could make a lot of money and I would be happy.

But then one day it hit me.  I was not happy and no amount of money was going to increase my happiness.  I was waiting in anticipation for the weekend to come so I could leave work and enjoy my life.  So basically I was living my life for two days a week. So I could enjoy  my life 104 days and then drudge through the other 261.  I decided I couldn't do it. I needed a change and thats when I decided I was going to travel and pursue what I was passionate about.  

Life itself is your career and your interactions with Life is your most meaningful relationship. 

I had been teaching Yoga while working my corporate job and realized it was what filled me up.  I had the same feeling when I was teaching high school.  I was able to provide a service to people that was helping them lead more fulfilling lives and that brought me JOY.  

So I will admit I am 33 years old about to be 34 and I am not sure I know exactly what specific job I want to have but I do know what I want.  I want to provide help to people. I want to serve.  I want to teach Yoga.  I want to teach people in need.  I want to learn.  I want to grow.  I want to travel. I want to meet new people.  I want to thrive. I want Joy every day.  I want to see other people smile.  I want to experience Nature.  I want to live in the present moment. 

What are you doing with your one beautiful life?
