Horizons

It's incredible how many of us forget where we are. This might sound like an odd thought, as clearly, we are in "X" city at a particular address. If you were to think about your week you could probably picture an entire 168 hours spent within a distance of that address. Wake up, make breakfast, go to work, come home, make dinner, relax (if you can find the time!) and hit the hay only to wake up again to the alarm. Thinking about your week, you can likely draw a border around the places you're likely to go.

Let us call this your sphere. How often do you break free from it? For those many individuals who drive to work, ponder next time how far that road can take you. If there are no roads, picture instead where walking in a singular direction might let you go. If you take transit, what about escaping from that sphere at the next transfer?

We often forget how large the world is and what distant places we are able to explore. Often, many are consumed with the idea of a vacation, however, the opportunity to explore lies just upon the horizon in any direction. All you need is to the desire to break free from the sphere when the time permits and allow yourself to become immersed in the new world that exists just a short while away.
Opportunity exists just minutes away; we just have to go looking for it.
