The rest of your comment leaves me with more questions than answers and wouldn't know where to begin to attempt to answer most of them. I will note that I do believe some people are simply more adventurous than others and it's part of what makes the world go round. I reckon everyone is looking for something similar but taking different routes to get there. When it comes to "Lloyd the Lobster", quite sure he'd say "think about it then go for it without another thought" to most things. Paralysis by analysis is worse than a failed endeavor I believe.

Sun, 20 May 2012 15:29:02 +0000 http://stophavingaboringlife.com/?p=11144#comment-12977 Good day, R. As I sit here on sunday morning reading your words under thick clouds, I wonder if the senior in the tree you mention concerns himself with the need to "tweak" or "sometimes make drastic" changes in effort to live a more meaningful life....We all strive for something, or do some of us simply survive, do the best we can and then it's over? (Seems unromantic, what would Lloyd the lobster say?) Do we really need to fear about laying on our deathbed and wondering why we didn't do this or that? Now, it's popular to say we should "live in the moment" and why not? As you mentioned, there are many people who would love to see what it is like to live in a westernized country. When there are the basic necessities of life, health, shelter, air, we still dream about more. Yes, I think some of that is fed by society, but are there more naturally adventurous people than others? What about the people who are born in the same house they die in and never venture far from home? Well sir, as always you got me thinkin'. Thanks for the reflective quality of your blog. I promise to keep any future comments short. Just sayin'. Good day, R.

It sounds corny but it made me think of the quote "we're human beings not human doings." I think sometimes I’m guilty of running around and trying to accomplish a bunch of crap that doesn't make me happy or fulfilled. Even travelling done wrong can be like that. Crossing off a bunch of countries that you’ve traveled to means nothing if you didn’t enjoy the process and/or learn something. Busy certainly does not equal productive. I could do well to relax sometimes and incorporate a little island life into my psyche. Soon enough we'll be that old guy in the tree (hopefully) with the majority of our life behind us. I think my biggest fear is looking back on my life in disgust because I was too fearful to do the things I really wanted to do. Being the grateful mango-picking grandpa with no regrets is what I’m shooting for. However adjustments are necessary in life. And it sounds like you have found yourself a great balance. Great post.
