Me & My Retired Mum Went Travelling As We Realised: We Won’t Be Here Forever

View this post on Instagram

After weeks of planning me and my amazing mum are off to travel around The United States. We will be travelling from New York to Los Angeles interviewing influencers who are changing the world for the better and fulfilling the dream me and my mum had for a very long time: to travel together. A few events in my life made me realise that I won't be here forever. Neither will my parents. I realised that it is my responsibility to live my life to the fullest and do things I always dreamt of NOW, not 'one day.' I have taken a month off work and we are on our way. Dreams are waiting!

Me and my mum talked about travelling together for years, but there was never the right time. After loosing my grandma I realised that neither me nor my mum will be here forever. So I took a month off work to embark on our biggest adventure together: travelling across the United States. Your life is the biggest gift you have ever received and no one knows how much time you have on this Earth. So don’t wait for the right time to come. To be who you want to be, to do the things you want to do, to say what you want to say… do it now. The right time will never come until you make it the right time.

"My advice to young people would be to learn. Because this is what will be your biggest asset in life. The most important thing is to keep growing." ~ says my now retired mum, 63 years old. "With age you stop worrying about things that don't matter and you grow out of your insecurities. Your priorities change, family and health become the most important."

We are back to travelling! This time it is Delhi, where Looking for Heroes' next project has its heart. . A few months back my colleague handed me a print out that was left by the printer at work. She thought it was mine and even though it wasn't I accepted the message and stuck it to the wall by my desk. The message says: Namaste My soul honors your soul. I honor the place in you where the entire Universe resides. I honor the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one. . As I am writing this message we are travelling in India were we use namaste as a greeting. The greeting that acknowledges that we are the same, that we are one, that we are united. . Photo by @_kevinberry_

I feel blessed. For life gave my a ticket to the unknown. I embarked on this journey with a heart full of love and filled with purpose. I shall live with no regrets and retreat from no challenge. The time has never been better to live with an open heart. . Recently we had an opportunity to continue our journey. I live knowing that life is the most fragile thing I will ever hold in my hands It is too short to wait It is too short not to dream We must embark on the journeys of our own The journeys within and the journeys without We were born to travel The Time Is Now . Thank you @_kevinberry_ for capturing this journey.
