It’s time to get serious, boy

My friend Brian started this interesting travel project that I’ve been following through their site online. The first time I heard about it, I thought it was pretty crazy. I heard some pretty crazy ideas before too and in those cases, the crazy ideas usually fizzled out and just somehow get forgotten. I know, I’ve had a lot of them.

But now a few months later, I was actually in Vietnam while they’re on one of the legs of their project, witnessing them do all that they had said they would do 3 months back. I was constantly in touch with Brian and I know all this happened not without it’s fair, well maybe not so fair, share of trials and tribulations. And yet, they’re here, still going at it, and seeming to be having the time of their lives despite everything.

I definitely admire the group for the determination they have to do what they’ve set out to do. I guess they’re an inspiration to me that even the craziest of plans can happen if you have the discipline to plan properly for it, and run.

That’s definitely something I want to have and I want to work towards. As I was immersed in the “Jet Set Zero experience” and witnessing all this over the weekend, I was thinking about my own life and I realized I should step up my efforts in getting myself together. I don’t want to go back to mediocrity. Whether it means I continue with status quo, or make a drastic change with some of the aspects of my life, I will make sure, it’s not going to be mediocre. I’m starting to get that life is just full of opportunities for us to make it even greater than it already is.

And I seriously hope this is not just another daze phase.
