The Troubles of the Travelling Salesman

There’s no one town, no single place for each of us. The world is too big to be left alone. The borders of nations are merely a chain of walls and land, seeming to disconnect the various ideas and cultures of the world. States are a weaker concept, the borders can only be recognized with the help of “Welcome” and “Thanks for Visiting” signs. To be confined by these weak walls makes me sad. There is so much to see and do it makes our short time here seem even shorter. Staying home seems sad, having a home for too long seems sad. Our dreams cannot be limited by these false borders. Our dreams have to push us to our greatest potential. When we limit our self’s we limit ourselves. The world needs to be pushed, pushed to the next level. We need to reach our next level of greatness. How do we determine ways to actively pursue our best interests when we lack the knowledge to see all available options.

Experiences we have change our perspective of the worlds we know. Limiting ourselves to the comfortable, the familiar, only limits what we can become. Being uncomfortable, being scared allows you to grow stronger as a person. You learn to resolve the negative forces in your life and figure out how to take care of yourself. The hardest thing is figuring out that you were wrong. Sometimes your biggest mistake and your best decision are the same thing. Life can always teach you something, and that can be the most valuable thing we get from life’s experiences. You learn, you love, you grow. You grow into the person you want to be. Never limit yourself to a location, time frame, or job. The world is limitless and always finds a way to work for those prepared to put in the work. Every house, every street corner, and every block has something you can take away from it. Keep your head up and your eyes open because there is always something to see. At some point we should all see the world, there’s no fun in being content.

I have the itch to move, the need to flight this town. I am used to this feeling, I’m always ready to go. Sometimes you just want to get rid of everything for that chance at something big, the experience of a lifetime. I feel minutes from filling my pack and seeing how far my thumb can get me across the Americas. Once you taste adventure, you need to have more. It’s about time that I get myself out of this town for a bit, get out the way I know how. A strip of cardboard and a magic marker aught to do the trick for me. I haven’t decided if I want to move or just an adventure, a city this isolated traps you in. I need to be somewhere I can’t get stuck. Europe sounds good to me, I could take the train to whatever town I was feeling that day. The various cultures in such a small area really tickles my fancy. With so many worlds so close, why wouldn’t traveling or staying in Europe be a good idea.

What it all comes down to is money; money to go money to stay. Having money takes the stress off the little things in life. Once that worry of money is gone you can really look at the real issues. Entrepreneurship is my main focus, so the question is where should I move and what should I open there. I could open a bare-bone restaurant almost anywhere. I have a decent ability for making beers and wines which would be a good start up, and the medical marijuana business in California is booming, although that bubble may pop if it’s legalized. I got the ideas, now where do I want to go and start up again, I have the option to go anywhere. This world is so interesting I would hated to get trapped in another town, I always need to see more. I need to be able to wake up smell that breeze and smile, to be happy in whatever I am doing, wherever I am at. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes, but the next morning the world is still spinning. I need a solid plan of action, a plan B, and a door number 3. I need this next one to really count, to all work out so the next step is even easier. It’s in the moments like this that we really test ourselves to be our bests.
