Traveling

I am one of those people who dread the thought of traveling because when I travel I feel like my way of doing things will be interrupted. For instance, when I wake up I always follow a systematic sequence that is specific, for either a weekday or weekend. Thus if I am to travel, I start to imagine how all this planned sequence will be interfered with and I get worked up. I literally get stressed out days before I travel and by the time the journey commences I am worn out emotionally. Given an opportunity, I always back out from traveling.

St Augustin once said that the world is a book and that those who do not travel read only a page. I am a culprit of that quote. I would like to imagine that I have read very few pages because I can count the number of places that I have traveled too. I love vacations, safaris, site seeing and all these adventurous activities but on advertisement.

However, despite my negative mental attitude towards traveling, I realize that whenever I get back from a trip I am usually refreshed, my perceptions change and I am able to relate well. There are many other benefits that come along with it too that make me appreciate traveling. Some of which are:-

1.       Finding a new purpose

2.       Appreciating my home

3.       You realize how little you knew about your surrounding

4.       You make new friends

5.       You appreciate life and all it has to offer

                  

 

           

Currently, I am working on my perception towards traveling in order to add on the pages I have read on this book called world.
