Bora Bora ~ Reflection ~ Appreciation

I recently returned from a trip to Bora Bora with my wife before I even jump into this quick read let me say this…..

Bora Bora is a 100% without a doubt “bucketlist” place for everyone in the world. If you are ever fortunate enough to find the time to travel there PLEASE take my advice and DO-IT. You will not regret it I promise you on that.

Now as most people know and can see via my own personal un-edited photos here it’s beautiful beyond words, the resorts, the mountains, the weather, beaches and the water majestically unreal……only it is real it’s all real.

Over the past 5-6 years I have been busy what I call “grinding” working my ass off on things I love studying, training, writing, reading and more…I have given up a lot over the past few years to make certain things happen. I have made numerous sacrifices just like most of you have in your own personal lives as well to reach some level of professional “success” if you will.

Being on a small minimally populated tropical island with minimal technology “off the grid” if you will…..I had a lot of time to reflect on my life both past-present-and think about my future.

I came up with this about myself and it might apply to many of you as well…..

I often times become so focused and obsessed on the destination and even I forget about the real important part of this “life” process called the journey.

More importantly I forget sometimes about the amazingness of the people I have come in contact with on this badass journey.

Moving forward I need to take more time to sincerely appreciate these people, telling them and letting them know how important there are to my life.

This trip also amplified how blessed I truly am – I would even say spoiled with all that I have.

Yet I don’t know if I really appreciate my own life enough for what I have in comparison to the rest of the world…(I am working on that)

I also realized…

My job title doesn’t matter to me….

How big my house is doesn’t matter to me…..

What kind of car I drive doesn’t matter to me…..

 

What DOES MATTER to me is…..

 

The kind of person I am becoming….

The relationships with people in my life…..

The experiences I have on this journey….

The impact I can positively have on others….

How much I can truly give back to the world…..

Sometimes taking a few days away from working in your “life” allows to start working on your “life”…..

A little reflection on why we do what we do and questioning our own beliefs, actions, and daily habits can have a profound affect on us.

I urge you guys to take a few minutes – even just 60 seconds #mandatoryminute – to think about your life in the ways I have described here.

Who knows it might just light a fire or ignite something inside you to do things just a little different.

Until next time eat well, train hard & be nice to people!
