Living life – January 16, 2015
You will never understand the true meaning of your life, until you travel and experience how others are living theirs ...
(Bon voyage)
See it, Think it, ... Say it! "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before." (Dalai Lama)

The world is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page.
(Saint Agustine)
A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. [sic]
(George Moore, The Brook Kerith)
A traveller is someone who understands world languages, a tourist is someone who understands none.
(adapted from a quote by Max Gillies)
I came across this the other day and it really gelled with me. I hope it does for you too!
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
(An extract from T.S Elliot’s Four Quartets: “Little Gidding”)
I stopped telling myself that I'm lost.
I'm not.
I'm on a road with no destination, I'm just driving with hope that I'll find a place that I like and I'll stay there.
I'm not lost, I'm on my way.
(Ahunnaya)
Life is a journey, make the most of it.

Or as Mark Twain put it way back in 1869:
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.
Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men [sic] and things
can not be acquired by vegitating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.
(The Innocents Abroad)
