Now What?

So I decided only to do what I want to do no matter what. I also try to get away from keep on pounding the transcending the ego theme since I have done enough of that in the first two months of writing this blog.

Now What?

How will I be able to keep on writing on a daily basis? What will I have to say? Obviously not many people will be interested hearing that I spent another day in front of the computer. We all do that all the time. How will I be able to write posts in the future?

By living an adventurous life. By getting my ass out of the door. By living fully. There is no time for hiding any more unless I want to so. But honestly I am not at all interested in hiding any more.

I spent most of my life preparing to live. I went to the gym to get the girls. Stretched and meditated to live consciously. I trained kung fu to be not afraid. I assisted for many years to be a photographer one day and read all these books to have a deeper understanding of the world. I was so busy preparing for a good life that I never got to the living part. I never got to reap the fruits of my hard work.

That is changing now. I had all there years to get ready. I am tremendously over prepared but maybe that is a good thing. For my sake, the world’s sake and the blog’s sake it is time to accept that I am good to go, that I finally do what I have been preparing to do for all these years.

How do I want to live this new life? I want to travel the world and take pictures. Make tons of money while I do that just for the fun of it. Swim with dolphins. Go to the opera. See AC/DC play live. Climb the Mount Everest. Start the second series in Ashtanga yoga. Learn how to surf. Get a motorcycle license. Shoot for Italian Vogue. Learn to play the guitar. Hang out with super models. Go dancing more often. Fall in love. Become a Photoshop master. Skydive. Start to scuba dive again. Do a cross-country trip by car. Kiss more often. Meet as many interesting people as possible. Travel to Africa. Meet the Dalai Lama. Meet Bono. Meet Irving Penn. Travel to Alaska. Have a photo exhibition. See a great white shark in the water. Shoot more music videos……..

I will write about my experiences in the blog, about a life lived only by doing what I want to do and maybe inspire others to do the same.
