Take Control

Foreword

As Human Beings most of us spend almost half our lives working to make a living which is a good thing. It helps us to survive, plus we get to do our small part for the welfare of society in general. Furthermore, few of us are fortunate enough to have Trust Funds or the proverbial "pot of gold" at hand. This effort to produce and survive though, sometimes takes over our very existence, turning our lives into mindless, boring routine:  waking up in the morning; getting ready for work; commuting morning and evening; spending less time with family and loved ones then repeating the same stressful routine day in and day out for decades. Meanwhile our health takes a beating, our relationships suffer and our mental state is one where hope dwindles and we seemingly can't see the light at the end of this non-ending tunnel of darkness and drudgery. But there is light at the end of this tunnel and we ourselves must make changes to see the light then step forward to reach that light. One needs to ask themselves, how much more money do I need to make? Is more work going to bring me happiness?  Do we really need to work more for those that have been dependent on us? This summarizes my reality and where I am at this time in my life.

With this website I'd like to share my journey in changing my reality from the boredom of "expected" behavior (maintaining a Job) into truly living life in a self-fulfilling manner and with that helping others to seek out and find their dreams. Whereas the almighty dollar certainly helps in providing a level of happiness, money certainly doesn't buy everlasting happiness as we mostly do not have an endless source of money. I know I certainly don't, however, there are other desirable things in life that certainly create a flow of endorphins with little or no investment. In some cases there may need to be some investment but, fortunately, without the need to be wealthy. For me, connecting more with the the natural world (especially the Sea) and the freedom of being out there has been the realization of that dream. I hope to inspire others to make meaningful changes that enrich their lives via my stories and photos. Welcome to my World!
