Dare to Commit – a Travel Writer’s Journey

How many dreams should you commit to in a lifetime? One? An infinite amount? Somewhere in between?

While I fully anticipate committing to one man for my lifetime, and have one family, professional commitments have become more fluid with time.

Instead of the pensions of our forefathers, we are mostly left to fend for ourselves saving for retirement as few of us will be able to count on company pensions and social security as more than a meal a month in retirement.

So, when your original dream doesn’t work out quite the way you expected, how do you choose the next dream and make the commitment to see it through

Most of us can tell you what NOT to do. Don’t buy every bright, shiny object in your path, thinking you’ll get rich quick and never have to work again.

Find a way to settle yourself into some piece of calm and think. Perhaps you’ll ask yourself these questions:

How do I want to live?

How do I want my days to look?

Who do I want to be?

What do I want my children to see, based on my actions and not my words, is truly important to me?

Figure those things out, and you’ll be able to answer the question:

What do I really want to do?

As you go through this process, you’ll find you make a more profound commitment to the dream.

Say you want to be a travel writer. You pay for the courses, maybe even get started, then life gets in the way. You put it aside, you’re a little committed, but not all in, and know that it’s there for you if you want to get back to it, someday.
