Life is a Journey

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." - Henry David Thoreau

I have always loved this quote. Making sense of the world and my place within it seems to take up a good portion of my time these days. In September I began taking International Project Management, with the idea of working in the Development/Relief sector upon my graduation. I chose the program because it magically confronted me. I was reading the paper one day, while contemplating my next move after University, and I was instantly sure that it was an omen/fate/destiny that I had come across it. I am a big fan of books that highlight the journey that is life, and have been on a seemingly endless high since reading 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho, and 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior' by Dan Millman. I am a dreamer - although I also consider myself a realist - and these books got me lost in my own thoughts. I think in life that we often get lost and fail to recognize what is right in front of us. We end up going through the motions just living from Friday at 5 until Monday at 9. I think its about time we reclaimed those missing 5 days and start chasing those dreams that we so often neglect. Life is a Journey - so take it.
