Decisions that decide us.

I find it hard to believe that our lives can change by one slight thought or decision made that very day.
For how can your whole life, your future, just simply shift and change direction because of one thing?
Some say it can't and doesn't.
The people who say this however, are the ones who are disappointed with their progress in life. The ones who wake in the morning with the same plan, that they have all intention of completing that day.
It figures.
For how can one's life change without the consent for it to?
The people who get up every morning, eat the same breakfast, carry out the same rituals, think along the same lines as they did the day before. Nothing new is entering their thoughts because nothing new is happening for an exciting thought to occur.

The people who are open for change, tend to grasp new ideas and opportunities.
This is ultimately the point that shifts our future once more.
The more times new opportunities are offered, the more times new ideas are created, the more times your future shifts.
And for better or for worse at that.

My future shifts every single day.
It's scary and exciting. But it's how I want to live my life.
Never knowing where I'm going to end up.

Wise Words

"When you don't have with you, your phone, computer or any money and are travelling, you are truely free. And when I didn't have any of those, I picked up my bag and kept moving. Those were the best days of my life"
- A middle aged Finnish teacher living in Jalasjarvi, Finland.

When we were having this conversation, I wasn't really paying attention. I was playing with my food, trying to decide how much money I needed to go to Russia.
Ironic.
But when we finished speaking and I once again wondered around trying to find someone to talk to, it struck me what he had said. He struck me how he had said it.
He was so sad.
His eyes wern't watching me, they were reliving the past. His face was drawn in concentration and his voice was steady, like he was so sure he was right, that what he was saying was the true definition of freedom.

So in my time to dwell, I have pondered on his thoughts.
And I agree.
Lets leave tomorrow.
