The Bucket List
When I read Dusty’s post from yesterday, about getting out of your own way and allowing your creativity to do what it really wanted to do, it struck a bit of a chord.
I’d just been reading the latest issue of Bike magazine, which had a piece from world record-breaking professional traveller and adventurer, Nick Sanders, about ‘How To Jack It All In’. Nick listed the six most important factors as:
Know what you want to do
Life is about timing
Embrace the unknown
Simplify your life
Recite five times a day. . .
I don’t know anything
I must listen to clever people
I am confident this can be done
I will never give up
And if you want to know the specifics, you’ll just have to read the mag, but it sounds simple, doesn’t it? Who among us hasn’t wanted to jack it all in and disappear?
This week’s Word of the Week is louche, meaning shady, sinister, shifty or disreputable.
