As I watch the travel channel I am always inspired to seek out and explore those places on this earth that I have yet to see, that I have yet to feel. While on a trip to Mexico with my family I had a lot of time to think. There's always something about being in a foreign place that allows to see more clearly the life that you are all too familiar with. The realization that I arrived upon was this: My life is not just a series of goals to be met. This may seem like common sense to most but to me goals are what have driven my entire life up to this point. The goal to go to Berklee, graduate, marry the girl of my dreams, become a professional music etc...and while these goals are certainly very good and I will never live my life with nothing ahead on the horizon I've realized that, while I'm continually looking ahead to these goals and landmarks in my life, life is happening. So, now, as I live each day I am continually trying to remain present. Remain in the here and now. Making sure that I don't let it pass me by. Because the journey is so much longer, than the destination.
