Vietnam.

Sitting in a cab from Hanoi domestic airport to the local hotel in DeNang

Every city is romanticised  - from New York (.. the shady streets that don't remind me of "Honey") to Hong Kong (.. the smog covered, overcrowded city packed into trains and buses in peak hour) to London (.. in the middle of winter where people are the highest percentage of depression in youths across the world)

... to even Vietnam (.. whilst there are rice fields with beautiful lush grass, there are also brown lagoons of water filled with Mosquitos.. A far cry from award winning Miss Saigon)

The idea behind this post isn't aimed at shutting down every city across the world (ddefinitelynot, I love to travel as you can tell) but about highlighting that most of life is made in mundane.

So what for you is made in the mundane? (Done well, that you can see beauty in it)

Could it be love, passion, dreams... Or simply an attitude?

How often have we come across a day that just seems like every another? What would change if you had a diagnosis tomorrow that you only had 3 months to live? What would change if you knew you couldn't fail?

As a generation, we are have the opportunity to take what the generations have already done ahead of us and to sit on their shoulders to chase a life of even more.
..So why then are so many of us, fearful of  is it that's stopping us?

1. Are we too fixated on the past, our failures or fears, and circumstance to give ourselves the opportunity to dream bigger?

2. Are we too busy in the present trying to do everything for everyone else and juggling half a dozen commitments that you don't even have time to look up to what your apart of in this generation?

3. Are we so focused on the future and where we'd love to be someday with someone that we never actually celebrate the victories of today, because it is never enough?

Ironically, I've laid out the past, present and future so at some point in your day, or week - We'd all find ourselves in one of the buckets. 

So what's the solution?

For me, it's all out knowing who holds time in his hands, the God of all, and balance. It's about choosing to stay in the moment daily, whilst setting time aside intentionally for my own personal growth and having strategy in place to track my progress along the way. 

Easy? Not at all.

Worth it? Totally.

Much love,
