In school, we learn new skills so frequently, we take it for granted.

But what happens once our school years have passed? Sure, we can re-enroll to learn more things, get advanced degrees, and move forward in our careers.

OR we can choose the path of self-learning that allows us to grow and evolve constantly.

Case in point; I was accepted to medical school as a teenager, so now I have a couple decades of medical experience. It’s great. And important. And technical. And challenging. And sometimes frustrating, especially when insurance companies get involved.

My solution? Work out daily and get the creative section of my mind in gear. And travel always helps.

I have been screenwriting for a while, and I’ve recently started travel writing. There are astonishing similarities between all disciplines.

  1. There are people both ahead of and behind you in the learning process.
  2. There are varying degrees of graciousness in those around you.
  3.  If you don’t pursue the dream activity you’re interested in because, say, it will take two years, in two years, you’ll definitely be older, but will you have accomplished what you would have if you’d made the time to pursue your dream?
  4. Fixed mindset people will tell you why you can’t succeed.
  5. Growth mindset people will encourage you to try.
  6. A supportive family makes all the difference when striving towards your next success.

Travel writing encourages you to go new places, acquire better photography skills, and submit articles to new editors and publications, despite your fear of rejection.
