This is a Guest Contribution by our friend, Juanita Ritter. Juanita is on the verge of making “the jump” into the entrepreneurial world, working publicity for the Primp Agency. While this particular article is not directly related to work, it is a nice reflection about how Juanita is now changing her perspective about life and happiness. Enjoy this inspirational piece.

Whether or not you choose to live life to the fullest, life will continue to live on. That thought occurred to me the other day when I was thinking of all the places I would like to go and see around the world. Then of course, reality kicked in and I started thinking of the cost, and when would I have the time, and when would we ever be able to afford it, etc., etc. We, or I can only speak for myself so I will say, I often let my immediate reality consume all of my energy without taking the time to step back and look at the big picture.

If I asked myself today, that up until this point in my life have I done my best to see and experience what I can of our entire World? Well, my answer to that question today would be “No”. My goal is to begin working to do all I can to be able answer that question with a resounding “Yes!” Our lives on this planet are but a blink of an eye in the grand scope of this Universe and it should be our daily goal to make the most of it. I don’t want to confine myself to my own little corner of the world. I want to die knowing that up until that very moment, I’ve done my very best to live my life to the fullest, that I’ve seen and experienced as much as I could have of the wild, wondrous, amazing and beautiful people, places and things that God has created on this Planet.

Alright, so I do have to a be little realistic and admit that unless I hit the lottery, I won’t be taking my dream trip to Venice, Italy anytime soon, but what I could do is get in my car and drive to New England and be able to chalk that experience up to having experienced a new place that I have never been to before. Actually, that sounds like a very good plan. I will now end this article so that I can Google New England!
