I want to take a moment to talk about this recent story that everyone has been clamoring about
The cliff notes of this article are this:
This guy is damn awesome and everyone should hope to have the same sediments about their own lives
Live Your Dreams
Onto the more thorough version
Richard Jordan had the American dream bottled up in the perfect little container with a bow on top
He had a good job, a new house, a fiancée, everything a men is expected to want in life
Then his fiancée left him and he was left with a collection of shattered hopes and dreams
After a swift kick in his own ass, he decided to sell all of his possessions and travel across the United States……in a Lamborghini
91,807 miles and 53 speeding tickets later he arrived back in Dallas a changed man, a man who followed his dream and lived more in a few years than most people do in a lifetime
The moral of the story isn’t that you should sell all your possessions and attempt to break every traffic violation known to man, its to chase the things that really matter to you in life
Richard had a deep seeded passion for automobiles, and he could think of nothing he would rather do then spend every penny he had on a car that he fantasized about driving, and take it across the US in an adventure of epic proportions
That is exactly what you should learn from this story
Don’t simply acknowledge the fact that its really cool what he did, think about what it is you really want in life, what is it that you would love to do more than anything in the world?
What the hell is really stopping you?
Money? Time? Yourself?
Find a way to make it work, take steps every day towards following your dreams in life because you never know when your current situation might shatter to pieces
When asked why he went on this trip, Richard simply said,
“You’re never going to live up to anyone’s expectations, so you might as well live up to your own and for me that’s to be as free as you can. And if money doesn’t buy you freedom then it’s useless.”
Rock on Richard
Gabriel
