This exercise is designed to give you a wide-open space to dream and allow those inner thoughts, passions, and aspirations to come forward. So… imagine you are gifted with a year (or two) where you are free to explore and do whatever you wish. You can go anywhere in the world, and participate in any activity that speaks to your heart - maybe you climb Mt Everest, or you earn a Michelin star, or you visit monasteries and meditate. You open a cafe in Paris or buy a vineyard in Spain. And maybe you take some time on a small island to write that story that you’ve always wanted to tell. There are no boundaries - you can wake up at the beach and watch the sunset from the highest peaks in the world.

There is no financial impact to this - in fact - all your expenses are provided for you - you’ll not be financially impacted by the time away.

The catch? There really isn’t one except maybe this… you must travel alone. You are the only concern or consideration during this journey. All of those relationships will be provided and cared for - and there will be no impact on them or you as a result of this journey. You’ll be reunited with them at the end of this journey… this first step is all about you.

Some find this exercise a bit uncomfortable because it is so wide open… and if you’re feeling a little odd about taking yourself away from your life and the possibility of finding parts of you that have been quiet these past years… it’s okay. My advice is to take some time and explore those feelings… and then, when you’re ready… begin your journey.
