Just Do It

To own or to have something is important.

To do things is more important.

I have owned plenty over the years. Brand new, big houses. Brand new, big cars. Brand new clothing. Brand new things. You know what though? They are all gone for the most part. Sold. Moved. Moved on. Not at all sad about that. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy those things but at the end of the day, the things are fleeting moments in time. Temporary placeholders for the experiences and the people in my life. The hard cover that houses the pages of your favorite book. The music apparatus where your favorite song lives. The screen where you saw that one movie you always go back to. It's not what this is about.

Over the last several years, I have downsized into a much smaller house. A much smaller car. Stopped going out and buying things and started going out and doing things.

I have traveled to places I have never imagined going to. I have seen things I never could have dreamt of. I have experienced things I will never forget.

Downsized so I can experience life's upside.

To do really is to be. Just do it!
