And I agree with you. It’s not enough to just leverage the great opportunities that our forebears have saved and struggled for to scrounge out a bare existence on the basis of the advantages that they worked so hard to create for us. That’s disrespecting our family, dishonouring ourselves and it’s not sustainable.

My experience has been that when I do what I really love, cool things work out.
Your talk about being ‘a legend’ sounds a little close to being great in others’ eyes… for me, it only really works if you do what you want, do what lights you up, and do it for your own sake. Enjoy it while others like what you do or recognize your achievements, but know that they often won’t.

Life goes through seasons. Sometimes it’s the season to sow. Sometimes it’s the season to plow. Sometimes it’s the season to harvest. Sometimes it’s the season to rug up and sew some blankets
If it’s snowing, you’d better get out your skis. If it’s hot, you might want to put them away. But whatever the season, you can do what you want to do – to choose your path based on your personal values. And that, to me, is following your passion. Not following your whims, but cutting your destiny through the forest of life.

When we read of great people, often their lives seem neat and clean and simple – like an Japanese garden. Yet so often their real story is more like a jungle.

Cheers man – and good luck with your adventures!

I think you missed the point of my post.

I think a lot of people talk about “you need to follow your passion” just like you do in this post. But, most people forget that there are circumstances where a person needs to do what he hates in order to take care of the people he loves.

I need to support my family, which means I can’t pick up and go live location independently. If you have a solution for me, I’m all ears.

I could easily pick up and go and live frugally anywhere. But ultimately, I’m looking to become a legend. I want to be remembered for the great things that I have done not be a niche group of people but be A LOT of people. I know A LOT is subjective, but I want to break into the mainstream and not just be known within social media.

So the point is that not everyone can travel for the rest of their lives. They may want to, but their are priorities and responsibilities that some people have that trump any passion that they want to follow
