The Seed that started the Wanderlust Driven Experiment

The Idea:
After finishing a poem (thanks to Ms. Pajer), it sparked me (a professional athlete) to feel the desire to pursue my true calling, my wildest dreams. 
 
So, I decided to embark on a soul searching trip and start an empowering movement.
 
What will be the outcome of this wonderful experiment…? Buckle up and Tune in… to Wanderlust Driven.
 
Why:
 
The goal of this experiment is to discover through other people what their reason to live for is. To certain degree, I think each and every one of us recognizes ourselves in others.  Every single experience – the daily grind of being a professional athlete, the pressure, the energy spent, the up and down – took a toll on my psyche, but truly molded me to this point.
 
Along the way, I’ve succeeded and failed, lost and found my faith again, laughed and cried. I have went thru hell and came back wiser, stronger, and with more clarity. I have become aware of many of my flaws and strengths. It ultimately led me to this moment when I decided to take a leap of faith and follow my passion: Travel. I’m taking this leap of faith right into my biggest fear: the fear of the unknown. I’m walking away from the feeling of security of millions of dollars. I mastered that aspect. I’ve put in my 10k hours. In order to fully feel alive I've realized and understood that life really begins at the end of my comfort zone.
 
All of these experiences allowed me to follow the current, toward my true bliss. I’ve always thought my destiny was bigger than the game. I’m thankful to my basketball experience because it has allowed me to become a better person, friend, and business man. It has shown me what I truly wanted to accomplish... TO BE CREATOR OF MY OWN TIME AND FIND INSPIRING PEOPLE TO GIVE THEM A PLATFORM.
 
Conclusion:
 
Regardless of our social status, we often get stuck into a routine of doing the exact same thing every day. Life monotony gave me this sense of security and control. One day I heard a quote that said: “Living is knowing what we live for…?” It took me awhile to be in accordance with myself on that one. What an inner battle that raged inside of me. The battle between being responsible and taking care of my family and loved ones and answering my call to go on my own adventure. I had this inner desire to continue on my hero journey. A deep belief that I want to accomplish something long lasting on earth. So, time for another quote: “the definition of hell the last day you have on earth, the person you became meets the person you could have become”. I thought it was super powerful to keep striving for my own reality, my own vision of what world I want to live in. I also read that, “the big reason people resist taking a chance is because they focus on what they have to give up rather than what they could gain”. Those words allowed me to understand what I was focusing on and gave me the opportunity to ask myself the simple question, "Ronny, what are you running towards or from?"
 
As master yoda says: “Do or do not, there is no try”. Do you have a desire to embark on your journey OR NOT?
