It’s a funny thing life, one day we are here and the next we are gone. Depending on your religious you may believe there is a ultimate point to life or not but in either case, what is the point of life if you are in it just to survive. Just to survive life seems to be rather a wasteful use of time and really rather pointless. If you have the gift of life then why spend 80 years justwandering through it trying to survive. if you have the gift of life it should not be wasted in this way. The gift of life should be used to have the greatest adventure you can, regardless of the fact that there may or may not be something waiting at the end of the tunnel.

Eduard from Ideas With A Kick made this comment on one of the guest posts I wrote recently. “You know, I think a lot of people look at the lifestyle Jonny is living and think: “Lucky bastard!” But this interview points out very well the real ingredients for achieving a great lifestyle, which can be used by anyone: vision, plan, execution. It’s not luck. Pure gold man.” You can read the interview here, but Eduard has a knack of simplifying concepts down to their core components and so in this post I am going to elaborate on his ingredients for achieving a great lifestyle: Vision, Plan, Execution which I also refer to as The Destination, The Road Map and the Vehicle.

“I guess if you got freeload money from your rich dad or your partner, then you can spend it as you did. But, hey if you are poor, not matter you do, you are still poor.” This was a comment on one of my recent posts “Three Months In The Life Of A Traveling Entrepreneur”. Bit presumptuous I thought, and just the smallest bit passive aggressive in that unsettling way that makes one think the author might possibly be sitting at his computer right now planning my future demise...I hope he or she at least has a decent cup of coffee with him or her.

Splash. The bracing cold water hits my face and flows over my body as I dive out of the sun and slip into the cool water. I exhale and let myself drift slowly downwards to sit crossed legged on the bottom of the pool. I remain motionless, listening to the faint underwater hum of the filtering system and watch the bubbles float slowly upwards through dancing underwater sunbeams to break gently in an array of reflected light at the surface. It’s 2pm. Tuesday.

As much as I enjoy the inspirational epic of a film that is “Forest Gump”, I believe that comparing life to “A Box Of Chocolates” because, as Mr Gump so eloquently puts it, “You never know what you are going to get” is fundamentally flawed. Wait wait, let me explain, put down the pitch fork. This will also be my last post for a week or so as I am off exploring again. Will return to blogging a week next Tuesday, try not to look too disappointed. I know, there there.

It's guest post round up time kids. Now some astute readers may peer through this smokescreen I am putting up and see a blatant, and frankly abysmal excuse by yours truly for not writing a proper post....and you would be right. I have been having an awesome time in the last few days and have neglected to write a decent post of even borderline quality, and as it happens my reserves of upcoming posts are dwindling horribly.

I lost today and at some point in your life, like the bad guys in a James Bond movie, you will lose too. This unfortunate ass beating, in addition to giving me a red behind, got me thinking about how to be a loser, and more importantly how to be a better loser when life requires it. (Life never really requires you to be a loser, but in some cases it is unavoidable, much like stampeding moose) So why do I bring this up and where do I have the guts and gall to call you a loser too? Read on to find out my inquisitive reader.

"I really started to learn and be educated when I left the cotton wool environment of university and entered life naked, much to the shock of casual observers." People, on the whole, are pretty honest. However collectively as a society they are lying to you every single day and for the most part you are probably buying into the lies. This post focuses on the 5 whopping lies that people live under and 5 brutal truths that are usualy swept under the rug. Knowing these 10 things will drastically help you break free in your life.
