RE: R2R Travelogue 13: Rogue River Gorge in Oregon

in #travelfeed5 years ago

Insightful words my friend as I often think about what great moments I have missed becausebof deadlines and rushing. I remember being on vacation and planned the long route to Tennessee through the Smoky Mountains to have some intentions of stopping along the way for the sights. While we did stop at the visitors center, I came to realize there was no celular service as we went up the mountain and I had a conference call I needed to take (yeap, on my vacation) and just rushed through the scenery! I had thought I could come back the same route and stop which we never did. I can’t imagine the great pictures and moments I missed with the family!

This thought process is a foundational part of why my career ended two weeks ago. Being under the relentless drive and ambition of a man who could not clearly see what I am attempting to convey here. I simply had to say, "enough is enough!" And move on ...

I could write a whole post into this comment box, but I'll refrain ... 😉 Clearly, as indicated in this post, I have "work to do" to completely uproot this thought process from my own life, as it has been so deeply ingrained for so long ...

I did turn around though, i.e. put action to thought, so there may be hope for me yet! Hope this helps some ...
