Taking steps toward what we desire to do with and in our lives is a challenge, especially when seeing the obstacles prevents us from obtaining what we desire. Life is scary when we don't know what will happen, which is precisely why I want to tackle one of my life goals and fly to Europe. by myself.
I've been putting this off for quite some time because of the cost, yet read recently that people are happiest when they do something with their time instead of buying material goods. I had a plane ticket to Paris once. No passport though. When my truck broke down and it was either the plane ticket or transportation to and from work, I had to sell the ticket back and fix my vehicle. I have always seen that moment as a disappointing one - seeing that my dreams were so easily gone because I had to make a choice between what I thought was real (my truck) and what I saw as fantasy (Paris).
Now is the time to make the decision: which country or countries do I want to visit? Alone?
