Life is too short to do everything we hope, dream and think of. Imagine if we could accomplish everything we've ever dreamed of since we were three years old.
When I was younger, my dream was to be a dolphin trainer, or at least swim with dolphins. And at the delightful age of sixteen, I accomplished my childhood dream.
My other ambition was to get accepted and attend University. At the subtle age of eighteen, I achieved this and started my degree at Loughborough University.
So what now?
What else do I have to achieve? Without ambition, where would I be?
So I've sat down and created my list of ambitions and dreams for the next ten or so years.
In simple terms, I just want to travel; as far and as wide as I can. I want to cover the breadths of the earth, exploring new cultures and meeting people along every step of the way. Obviously, this is ridiculously vague so I've got a list:
- Work at Disney World
- Inter-rail
- Work at Camp America
- Volunteer i.e. in an animal refuge or building schools
- Road Trips: America, Europe and Australia
- Visit Australia
- Visit more areas of Britain
- Visit the Nordic region (See the northern lights!)
Once again, some of these are still very vague and also generic. But these sum up what I hope to experience and cover in the next ten or so years. As a result of being stuck in the education system for the entity of my entire life, I am itching for freedom and experience.
Don't get me wrong, university is possibly the best thing I have ever experienced and I do not want it to end. But then again, I can't wait to earn some money and let a plane take me wherever I want to be.
Life is too short to let little things get in the way of your happiness. Do what makes you happy.
