You, Your Travel Fears and The Fear-Crushing Travel Guide

by

Sweet-Istanbul-Turkey

What many have said to me over the years:
“I wish I could travel like you.”
“You are so lucky to travel so much.”
“There is no way I can travel with my children.”
“Go on all your travels before you have babies.”
“Traveling is risky; it’s just not safe, not these days.”
“I love to travel, but I hate to leave home behind.”
And my least favorite:
“Oh yes, of course I am going to travel someday. You should see my dream list of countries to visit  …. someday. Someday soon!”

Traveling is so widely accessible to us human beings today that I wonder why those who dream and desire it so much are not out there doing it all the time! Some of us want to go to Europe; some dream of Africa. Some people want to travel to the far east. In fact, when I lived in Iran, taking a holiday in Cyprus was one of the most popular destinations. One day, I will need to make a trip just to Cyprus for that. Can you think of a place where you want to take a holiday and yet have not made any plans to go?

And yet real travel fears and anxieties stand in the way of even the best of our intentions, the type of fears that cripple the most steady dreams of travel in the most willing hearts and confident souls. [Read more…] about You, Your Travel Fears and The Fear-Crushing Travel Guide

How to Awaken a Dormant Dream

Have you ever had a dream so strong that you spent your waking hours toiling away as if there were no tomorrow, as if today was all you had?

Have you known a dream so alive inside your every cell that you were afraid to fall asleep lest you do not wake up feeling the same way?

Have you had a dream so firmly grounded in your mind and so permanently tugged at your heart that it was simply impossible to abandon it, even against the worst odds?

If you thought you had a dream but these questions did not resonate with you, don’t lose heart!

Your dream could just be dormant, sleeping under the surface waiting desperately to wake up.

My dreams, I shoved down so deep and so harshly for so many years that it is a miracle they did not abandon me in the way I abandoned them.

Do not abandon your dreams. [Read more…] about How to Awaken, Build and Guard your Dreams

Start Traveling the World Today

Travel Dreams Waters of Maui

How do we crush travel barriers and start traveling the world today?

We crush them slowly, one at a time, with tender care and tough love. We crush them by living what we preach, by walking our talk, and by meaning what we say. We crush them with the truth, with facts, with information, with knowledge, with education, with empowering ideas into actions and dreams into realities.

I am talking about the surmountable psychological and emotional barriers surrounding the act of traveling and subsequently the mission to crush these barriers one by one. What is it that keeps you from committing to a vacation and not postponing month after month, year after year? [Read more…] about Start Traveling the World Today

2010 Year-End Review in Relevance to You

by

Splashing water in Las Vegas

So it is December again, another year bidding us a swift goodbye when we are just starting to like the sound of it. Ready or not, like it or not, in the cold of the night (except for you lucky souls on an island or in the southern hemisphere), we switch over to a new year. Every year, I would hold a ritual not uncommon to a million others; I would write down (with a pen on paper in a notebook, remember those?) my year-long deep reflections and promises of command performance for the new year.

This year is different, a massively better kind of different. [Read more…] about 2010 Year-End Review in Relevance to You
