Journey of Life!

Life!

As far as I know, and what most people seem to be saying, there is only one life, now. There are a whole lot of theories out there, about after-life, heaven, re-incarnation, etc...

All very interesting to speculate and argue about, however, I seem to have inherited a more pragmatic approach (I can just see my parents... "from who? Wasn't me!"), which makes me want to know what truth I can use now.

Truth.

Not my truth or your truth, the objective truth: Something we could accept as fact, for now.

The truth is that we are born, then we die after having lived a little or a lot.
Our body says goodbye to this earthly voyage.
As do our heart and our brain, home of our mind.

Which leaves us with the intangible and elusive Soul, who has the privilege of going on to do whatever really happens, Heaven, re-incarnation, etc...

Now, we can either take our Soul or leave it, either way, we still have to live this sole life with our bodies, hearts and minds.

That means, health so that our body looks, functions and feels great, love so that our heart can flutter and pump faster, and, new, different, interesting challenges to keep our mind active and our wits about us.

All of this in the space between birth and death, which is handily undefined, so you have the choice of risking never doing something ever, or not taking that risk and doing what you want before the boat to take you across the river arrives.

We get to make that choice again and again, every second, every minute, every breath...

...until that last one.

The way I see it, my mind has come up with a whole list of things it would like to see, do and feel in this life not letting me be still until they are marked with that satisfying 'Done' check.

I must admit that my list is long thanks to http://www.superviva.com, where I got inspired to desire, where my self-esteem received a welcome boost too!

My heart has also learned to enjoy falling in love and accepting falling out as part of the whole adventure, still going for it all out, or should I say all in?

And my body, well, my body has just become addicted to feeling wonderful when it is getting the right nourishment for the senses... the food and drink, scents, pleasing views, soft touch of the sand and the sea on the skin, the music of the breeze, the rustling of the leaves and the splashing of the waves, with a touch of exercise in the form of fun games, to give it all a bit of spice!

You have already guessed where I get the combination of all those pleasures and satisfactions, I'm sure!

YES!

Flying Around the World!

I have a question for you... would you be interested in seeing my life-list?
You know, like the latest Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson film, The Bucket List.

Here is to all your goals, dreams, wishes and childhood fantasies,

Happy Travels!
