One of the areas where I need to focus on this year is to plan some cool trips to places where I want to explore. I am sitting on my bed in Costa Rica looking out at a magnificent view and promising myself that the next three days will be pure bliss. My goal is to ignore the noise around me and simply enjoy the beauty of this heavenly place.
What do I need to ignore? the fact that ...
- The people I am with create unnecessary drama. It's a fact and there is not much I can do to change it apart from ignoring it.
- There is an extremely abusive man here who loves to be the center of attention and is an absolute Neanderthal in every possible way
- The arrogance of this man and his need to be in control
- I can do what I want to do and not feel any guilt
- I am seeing a woman in pain who doesn't want help and it's out of my control
My other big learning is a life lesson I was fully aware of for a long time: there is no free lunch. Everything comes with strings.
I ended up paying for this vacation and next time, I need to choose where I want to be. I have the means. I don't need to be lured by a private jet. I have over a million freaking miles, I can go anywhere I want to. That's why I work so hard.
New year, endless opportunity. Dare to be great.
