Get used to being Uncomfortable

Comfort is just what it sounds like, comforting.

Comfort can be a great thing.
Having a comfortable bed. Eating some comfort food, I love mashed potatoes.
You know what though? Being comfortable is not at all that it’s cracked up to be. Comfort is also really close to something I hate, being complacent.
Being complacent is when you are just fine with being where you are. It’s fine to be at the same job, I don’t love it but it will do. It’s fine to do what everyone else does, because it’s easy. It’s great not to chase your dreams because that’s really damn easy too. It’s really comforting to sit on the couch. It’s really comfortable not exercising. It’s really comforting to be lazy and eat potatoes and become a glutton and just meander around aimlessly because that’s comfortable, right?
NO THAT”S WRONG!
Comfort is a great thing, when it comes to a bed. It’s not when it come to your life. You have to get out of your comfort zone if you want to do anything great. The comfort zone is the enemy. Learn to combat it at all costs.
If you are afraid of doing something, forget it. That’s your comfort zone. If it seems to hard, forget it that’s your comfort zone. Do it anyway and forget about being comfortable for a while.
Hard work, pays off.
Being uncomfortable every once in a while, pays off.
Taking calculated risks every now and then, pays off.
Being comfortable is comforting but not very useful unless you are trying to get a goods night rest.
Remember that, and go out and have an amazing week.

2010 Almost Here

2010………Wow. That’s right, it’s almost 2010. It seems like the older I get the faster time goes. When you are 5 a year is 1/5 of your life. When you are 25 a year is 1/25 of your life. When you are a hundred a year is 1/100 of your life. Time flies while you’re having fun. Better make the most of it.

The Traveler Code – A Travelers Rule Book

Rule 1 – If someone you know is traveling to your city offer them a place to stay. Next time you are in their city, see if you can stay with your friend.

Rule 2 – If a fellow traveler invites you out for a beer, go with them.
Rule 3 – Trust your instincts. If you get a bad feeling about a place or a person, trust it and get out of there.
Rule 4 – When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Rule 5 – You have to Pay to Play. Don’t try to get out of paying a bill with a group of fellow travelers or get in an argument about a split bill.
Rule 6 – Just because you can barter, doesn’t mean you should. Don’t try to screw a local out of a couple extra bucks. It’s not worth it and they make much less than you do.
Rule 7 – Always strike up conversations at hostels, at bungalows, on day trips. Talk to as many people as you can, sometimes you will be friends with these people for life. A shared experience creates a stronger relationship.
Rule 8 - Expect the unexpected. Everything that can go wrong, sometimes will go wrong. Learn to laugh it off, it will make a great story later.
Rule 9 – If you are traveling with a group or a friend don’t get in petty arguments over Rule 8. If you do get in an argument, learn to get over it. Traveling is about experiencing new things and having fun, not stupid arguments.
Rule 10 – Keep traveling. Think of new destinations and go to them.
These aren’t really rules, more like guidelines. There are always exceptions to rules, and some rules are meant to be broken.

Waves Crashing – On my head

Sometimes you are the hammer. Sometimes you are the nail. Sometimes you catch a wave. Sometimes it crashes on your head, you cut your thumb and curse at Poseidon while you bleed. Such is life, such is love, such and such.

Don’t let it get you down. It happens to everyone. Learn to enjoy being thrashed around like you were in a washing machines. Why do you think you loose all those socks? They don’t want to come back for more.
Thank you come again.
