Day 163

'Hats off to you', Pen and Marker on Paper.

A lot of people I know are doing interesting and exciting things with their lives at the moment. The sort of things that can cause the best of us to receive a visit from the green eyed monster, in which they may thoroughly overstay their welcome. I know people that are not only living, but living it up in other countries which are not only foreign in terms of where they are but in terms of the entire culture they have now been immersed and thrive in. There are people travelling the world and conquering it one city at a time, all the while broadening and expand their horizons in ways that I find it difficult to even begin to fathom. I know people that are either starting their own businesses or have simply decided enough is enough and have cast asunder the abhorrent shackles of their humdrum vocation. Now they chase something more challenging, more rewarding and more in line with the dreams they had as a child. Whilst I could go on, and maybe even on a little further, by listing the numerous ways in which people are doing things that cast a tall shadow that envelopes much of us with a feeling of inadequacy... I won't. Instead I want to offer a tip of the hat to those people as they all have one thing in common, that being that they crave something more they are no longer content to coast by like the rest of the masses. Instead they want... neigh need to break free from that monotony that entraps many of us and seek something different. They may be taking a risk which admittedly may not work out but the point is they are at least attempting to do so. So whilst it's easy to be envious of these people and covet their very existence, it's also important to consider that it's not easy doing what they are doing and you  really have to respect them for that.
