Overcoming a fear of mine...

For a long time now I have become aware that the corporate world is not my life calling.

I need to be doing something with my life in which I feel I'm creating change in the world.
The blog is my first step.
 My second is the fact that I plan on writing a book.
 The ultimate goal is to open up a Centre somewhere someday.

On top of that, I also began to think about the fact that I also desire to travel around the world.
To explore, learn, and most of all help create change in any way I can.

A while ago, I was ready to leave everything behind to go off to Vancouver.

I realize that I am still young, and don't have any attachments here so why not spread my wings and explore.

The why not stems from underlying fear, of not being able to make it.

Palestine... India... The Rain forest.. Indonesia.. all places I have thought about. I even started looking at volunteering experiences abroad.

I put this dream on the back burner, again, due to fear.

Point of all this rambling is that you something has happened recently that has helped me realize that I can do it and I shouldn't be so afraid.

So ..

Thank you.

Maybe I should start looking for volunteer opportunities in Palestine or something like I started to a while back.  Although my job serves its purpose, there's no passion involved.

Wow.. just thinking about it is getting me all excited!!!

Thank you!!

I resonate with alot of what you said Rana... spreading your wings (hence my move to TO) ... wanting to leave the corp world, travel, learn/explore ...

And after reading a few of your entries it is clear to me that you will make a GREAT auth...or (something that I've always aspired to as well), you have remarkable focus, great articulation and meaningful prose. I'd buy it :) ♥
