“You do realize you are just as crazy as the rest of us right?” A mental breakdown was the reason I went on a quest to the rest of my life. A year later I found myself on the Australian West Coast where the Indian and the Pacific Oceans meet.
What did I want out of this life?
So, off to America I went. It had been a lifetime dream of mine to live and work in the land of opportunity. And when my dreams finally came true, I had a sense of magic and thought to myself: what if I dream up something else, can I have that too?
The dream was the relationship. It was clear that what I wanted was love. Now it was time to find my own Leonardo, I thought.
However, after my return from America, I hit a full blown existential crisis. No wonder, all my college buddies had moved on: were raising families, making careers. I wanted to find my reason for being too.
This is when the quest to the rest of my life took a different turn. My place in this world was no longer a geographical location, like it had been before. What I learned in this lifecycle between ages 35 and 42 was to let go of who I was, to become who I might be. I no longer was a Nike employee, or someone’s girlfriend. But no use ‘finding’ my reason for being or my Leonardo.
I now believe that one day, when the energy and vibrational frequency are right, my dreams will come true.
To me the Surf of Life is about creating space for coincidence and letting people come to you.
