Reading Leap!: What Will We Do with the Rest of Our Lives?
Of course, I already did this with two Chinese adoptions. Never in my life did I ever think that was in the offing until it was.
It’s interesting to me to see how many things are out there, if we knew of them or were willing to follow our bliss, take the risk(s).
Of course, many of the people she interviews in her book are very capable of doing most anything. They have made (and maybe lost) fortunes because of their ability to look at life creatively. They haven’t lived a straight line yet, so why would they into the sunset years? Money is not necessarily a problem in choosing anything. OTOH, some live interesting lives and have never had much money, they just think outside the box.
The important thing (not things) might be either to look before leaping…or take the leap and go where it leads.
I suppose I have a tendency to be or do a bit of both. I don’t know that I’d leap without thought, but some leaps seemingly come together without thought, while a whole lifetime of decisions has led up to that leap.
She asks the question, if you are going to live another 30 years, what are you going to do?
I’m open to a lot of things, but I don’t know that I’ll ever be at a point to do them. And then doing them, perhaps it would be bliss or it would be: what the heck was I thinking, LOL. I always say, nothing is written in stone; you can always make another decision.
How about you? will you leap? are you leaping? do you even consider it? (somehow it reminds me of Star Trek…beam me in, Scotty.)
What would you do if you could do anything? would you do what you are doing now?
