No regrets – I think we’re happy with what we have achieved so far.. but always striving to improve of course!

Happy with where you are at, but understanding that perhaps there’s more out there. That’s perspective.

I really try to subscribe to the idea of living deliberately and there was actually some action based practical advice in your post. Most writing on the subject tends to ramble on too much and give lazy generic advice. Point 3 is what separates the men from the boys.

It’s easy to be a talker, not so easy to be a doer. And congrats on living in London now and making your dream really happen by taking action.

I wanted to live in London since i was 18 but never had the money saved or it just wasn’t the time and all my friends dis believed i would ever do it. during the year before i left it got serious and i realised i was being a talker and not a doer – this realisation hit and now im living in London… thats only the begining!

I think there are so many people who can identify with you regarding being a “talker” instead of a “doer” and wanting to travel and do what you want to do before it’s too late. We also face this challenge. Your comment has also inspired us to take stock and reevaluate our goals and what we’re doing…and that we are actually doing instead of talking.

If there is anything we can do to help with your planning or in providing fodder for your inspiration, please let us know.

That is a very small example and I have only just begun to read your blog! I am in my early 40’s and I have always been the “talker” and not the “doer” and I am seeking to change that. I went on my first trip to Europe last year and it really had a profound affect on me and has made me rethink my priorities and what I want to experience/contribute to this world. My mom is in her early 70’s and regrets waiting to travel, etc. So, I am in the beginning stages of planning out what I want to do and see what is out there. I am taking some inspiration from this blog and hope to turn myself from a “talker” into a “doer”. Many thanks.

But the intent is not to be brutal as much as it is to cut through the traps we sometimes find ourselves stuck in when considering life choices. To your point, it’s easy to hide — so easy that we often don’t realize we’re doing it. Thanks for your comment!

People hide too easily behind fate as an excuse for their lives, especially if they are not happy. When really, the choices we make dictate our life(styles)
