We're responsible in making life happen for ourselves. If we want to travel, accomplish things, complete a project, buy a new car, it's up to us to plan & execute those dreams into reality. Sitting back saying 'Woe is me. My life if boring. Nothing fun ever happens.' Is our own fault.
Several years ago after my son left for Chile on his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I decided to save the money to go pick him up in South America. I didn't make much money at the time, but put away every penny possible. It was hard to pass up new clothes, mini trips, impulse purchases, but the dream made it easier. The day we left for Chile, was more exciting than all the little things I'd passed up.
Last Saturday knowing only days remained before the warm weather & beautiful mountain scenes were snowed on & destroyed, we spent the day in the Albion Basin above Alta. In the summer people flock to see the Wild Flower Festival. Winters it is packed with skiers. The mile hike to Cecret Lake, lunch under towering pine trees and views were amazing. The area was void of noises we live with such as planes, cars & tv.
We could have stayed home & worked, but we can do that any day or time. Setting a goal and following through, makes life much more interesting and fulfilling. Make it happen in your life, too. You'll be happy you did.
