Yes, It is just a wonderful time to be alive! It is so easy for many of us to pack a small suite case, head to an airport and fly away, even if it is just a short weekend trip. You certainly know how it goes? We begin thinking the dreaming about getting away from work, our home, our friends, and family for just a few days. Our special time just for us…yes! Finally! It now is time to get ready, pack those cloths, pull out that dusty suitcase and plan exactly what you will bring with you on your adventure. Your mind wonders, the easy things like toiletries, swimsuit, then what cloths to take? Don’t forget that swimsuit!

Finally, you have reached the airport, passed through security and you are now sitting in in your assigned seat ready to fly away. All is good!

The day has been simply perfect; you have now landed and checked into that beautiful resort. Over the next few days, you will relax, eat, drink and frankly just enjoy leaving everything behind. For just a few days, no boss, no bills, no commuting, just peace. So awesome.

Just as this getaway is about to end, your mind begins to remember what you are heading home to all that you had left behind…

“Someone once told me, most people spend more time planning a week’s vacation than they do planning their lives.”

This is often why so many of us come home from a break in time only to discover our baggage is already there. We cannot escape our lives, our fears our troubles, our families or really anything in our lives.

So here we are, heading home only to take the cloths out of that suitcase, place them back in the cupboard and do the laundry. Until next trip we say!

What if? What if we did stop and plan our lives like we planned that getaway? What if we decided to be the authors of our own life? Imagine what it could be like to never have to visit “Baggage Claim” again?

Imagine, where you could go.
