Why am I doing this...?

4/5/2012

2 Comments

 
When I get asked this question by other people "Why are you doing this?" I really don't have a particular answer to give other than "Why Not?" The way I see it, I am not married, I don't have kids, I have no job and I am 35 years old. It seems to me like the best moment in my life to do such a craziness like this instead of waiting for everything to fall in place, put the ducks in a row and then dream about doing something like this in the future.
Maybe I set my goals to high, maybe 8000 Kms is too much for a first adventure...I get so many questions and doubts from other people that sometimes I get cold feet and second thoughts, then I stumble across a speech like the one Adam Baker gives on TED and it set me right back on track.  I never asked for the job/career that would make me a millionaire or the white picked fence house living style, I consider myself a humble guy with a big heart who wants to always remain down to earth and with my head over my shoulders. This is why I am doing this, just because I can! Thanks Adam...

Hey Sebastian. Your first adventure should always be a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal). Other people doubt you because they doubt themselves. Don't listen to them. You can do it!!!!!
