What Are Your Priorities?

What are your priorities?
​ What moves you to work a little harder?  What motivates you to reach your goals?  What is on that priority list that you keep in your head?  Do those items move your forward?  Or work as a reward for you?  Or keep you in defeating habits?

Traveling, is a priority to me.  It seems to me that I am most productive when I am traveling.  I'm not sure why that is... Maybe its the lack of a set schedule, or the relaxed state of mind that I fall into when I am allowed to leave my daily grind.  Or maybe it's just the change of scenery that shakes things up a bit.

When I am driving, out on the long highways of America, a couple things happen.  First, I am so filled with a patriotic pride that I live in a country where I am allowed to freely move through state after state just because I want to. And let's not forget the beauty that each state has to offer as I pass through their small towns and big cities and miles and miles of untouched land.  I get to meet and talk with people from all walks of life and all matters of culture, and food!  Don't even get me started on the variety of foods there are to try!
And second, those hours spent in the car, my mind is free and has no boundaries.  I come up with my best ideas, story-lines and future plans behind the wheel of my SUV. 

Being able to travel is a high priority for me.  Even when my budget is tight, I have to make an allowance that will let me travel.  Usually to an ocean destination.  The ocean feeds me, makes me feel strong and yet very small at the same time.  It literally washes away my tension and no matter how many times I see it, I stand in awe.

When I am allowed to travel, I write more (which is important for an author!). I am inspired.  I feel sense of worth and can clearly see the goals for my future.  I also know that these circumstances are limited, so I try and make the most while I am away.  A little work, a little sight seeing, a little cultural experience and a little relax time.  It's a balance that has taken me years to perfect!

I also travel because the winter does bad things to me!  I absolutely hate to be cold and am not a big fan of snow.  But for the moment, I must stay where I am residentially, so I use travel to help break up the long dark winters.

And finally, traveling keeps me moving forward. Literally.  It works in a circle.  I am more motivated to reach my goals, to create more speaking events, to make more money, to be able to travel.  And now being asked  to travel AS my job?  Well, that's just about perfect!  I am so thankful that my world is opening up to create those opportunities!  

Keeping those priorities in front of me!!  Keeping me on the road and traveling...

So keep an eye out for me in your town in the near future.  I am going to be offering a whole new series of seminars and speaking topics!!  I am so excited about what my future has in store for me and I am excited to share it with you!  I'm looking forward to meeting you and visiting your home towns.  So, if you live in a warm climate I could show up any time! But if you live in the colder climates, I'll be around to visit in the summers!

I can't even imagine my life without traveling. I blame my parents for a lot (ha!), but this one thing I blame them for that has served me well. They always traveled with my brother and I. The places we saw and the things we did left lasting impressions, which is why travel is such a big part of my family's life. Here's to many adventures in 2017!
