MISSING OUT
This picture is taken from the
top of the mast of Exit Only. This is what your life looks
like when you go cruising.
Now, put a blindfold on, close your eyes, and stare into the black
void. That is what your life looks like without going cruising.
It's a life without ever seeing the spectacular beauty that's
yours for the taking when you drop you dock lines and set sail on
the ocean of your dreams.
While I was working in Saudi
Arabia saving up freedom chips for my voyage around the world, I
kept a picture of Bora Bora on the wall above my computer desk.
Every day that I worked in Arabia, I burned that picture into my
consciousness, because I wanted to have Bora Bora on my mind.
That picture constantly reminded me of who I was and where I was
going. Although my colleagues and patients thought I was Dr.
Dave, I knew my true identity. I was captain Dave, master
and commander of Exit Only, and I was on my way to French
Polynesia. Although my body was in Riyadh, it was just a
matter of time before my anchor would be down in Paradise. I
had Bora Bora on my mind, and I knew where I was going.
For more than ten years, I
kept Bora Bora on my mind,
because I didn't want to miss out. I knew that as long as I
focused on my dreams, I would be willing to do whatever it takes
to make them happen. Living dreams is mostly about focus
and persistence. If you have a positive focus, and if you're
endlessly persistent, it won't be long before your dreams come
true.
You only get one life, and
it would be a shame to miss out on living your dreams. Go
ahead. Live your dreams. You won't regret it.
There's no limit to how good your life can become.
