Why is going for the dream miles away considered desperate?

      “So you say you will leave Deanmark – what exactly is your masterplan?”

Those were the words. Dining at some friend’s. After discussing that our Prime Minister has left the Country to become Prime Minister of Nato – it slipped my tongue that I was thinking about leaving as well. Relocate from Denmark to America.  From Copenhagen to Honololu.  Why not?

UARRGHH – My God –  - you would have thought I said I wasgoing to Afghanistan. If I thought that they would give me street creds for for audacity – I was wrong…

What are you going to do there? Why not New Zealand og.. Italy or… Why go at all???

To be or not to be (fool)

But there is a dream. A intuition. A sense of adventure and and a couple of ideas…. and q few bucks as well. I’m not completely stupid..

But it wasn’t good enough. That was exactly what they said. I would have to come up with something better… I cannot think of a better thing than pursuing a dream… even though it may turn out to be a flop… But daring going out on a limp and take the plunge…

In other words… we didn’t see eye to eye, and my answer and project seemed to be slightly provoking to them. Me wanting to quit, take a time-out and start miles away just seems like a crazy-ass thing to do. Childish – maybe even dsperatNaive or courageous?e. Naive to say the least.

Naive or courageous – does it really make any difference?

I don’t know. And I couldn’t care less. They miss the point. It’s not about doing the right thing in terms of settling and hit the right spot once and for all. It’s about letting go …of restrictions and limitations and put yourself to the front where you dare risk everything for at thing you believe in.. and What is the worst thing that can happen?

The answer to that question – right here and now is: crashing on a plane or getting hit by a shark… or get married :-)

Not taking the chance, being afraid of failure and keeping the dream as a frozen mental still photo in a sealed box – safe and sound. That would be the worse case scenario.  Always having to look at pictures of a place – a mental reflection of something dead and unfullfilled… Who cares about having a Masterplan in terms of career plans and tactical moves propelling your Ego up the ladder.  This is the GRAND Masterplan… and I travel light..


All good things come to those who hustle

I don’t have carpe diem chliches tattoed on my butt – c’mooon – that’s cliché BS – but why the h… is people so disencouraging and skeptical?It’s not their money that’s at stake, is it? . It’s not their chances I’m taking, is it? It’s not their life and stability I’m risking… They are not even my financial advisor…

The most important thing about a decision is that it is made. I’ve made my decision. I’m going for the dream… No matter what the superego-people say… Wouldn’t you? Tell me…
