- I am competent & capable
-
- I can navigate myself through airports & crowded, unfamiliar cities where I don’t speak the language… without access to Google Maps
- I can bravely eat that disgusting looking mush… & I might even enjoy it
- I can get out of sticky situations as easily as I can get into them
-
- I can make friends easily
- I must be a likeable person
- There are no problems that are too big
- Missed flights, stomach bugs, missing passports, stolen phones, lost in a city… there’s not much I can’t handle
- The universe supports me
- Having experiences is more important & fulfilling than owning things
- Life is fun!
- I am more privileged than many people
- But still people can find happiness & contentment in the absence of privilege & opportunity
- Every day is an adventure
- Travel does not have to be expensive & it’s not always glamorous
- Opportunities are everywhere for those who want to find them
- God is a mindset & to know God is a choice
- Life is easier when I know God
- Media rarely reports the truth about places
- The world is safe
- There are GOOD people everywhere
- Overcoming fears gets easier
- There’s not much I’m afraid of…
- Except bungee jumping
- & salt water crocs
- Life is always good
- I am healthy & vibrant
- The human body can accomplish incredible feats when put to the challenge
- The world is my oyster
Traveling around the world has taught me that the world accepts & embraces me when I chase after dreams. It has given me optimism, opportunity, confidence competence, & experience. This is why I travel.
