Hey Sean, Payman here.
Found out about your site through your postcast interview about living in Thailand from another site. Loved and it and I have literally been devouring all the awesome articles on it for the past few days. I can relate tremendously to all you went through as I am going through it all myself at this very moment. My release date is October 28, 2010 as that’s the date I’ll be flying to Bangkok for a 3 months mini retirement. I’m scared yet very excited at the same time about all this new adventure.

Thanks for putting and sharing an awesome site with the rest of us, like minded who want to live life on our terms. Btw, was wondering if I can post this article of yours on my blog once it’s ready as I was about to write something similar but after reading your article, it’s perfect, you put into words exactly my thoughts.

Anyways, if you’re in Bkk between end of October to mid Feb, I’d love to meet you and other like minded entrepreneurs, to pick your brains as that’ll be my first time in Thailand/Asia. Oh and drinks on me.

Cheers,

Payman.

I know what you’re saying, you can get so focused on the somedays, that years later you look back and go what the hell happened?
Or even worse like you mentioned you plan everything down to the last detail and then pack it away, it’s so silly sometimes.
Thanks for the great article and good luck with the mountain – remember don’t try and run once you get to the top!

We regret the things that we didn’t do more than the things that we did do and went wrong.

No regrets is the proper way of living.

There are no mistakes.

I’m coming upon that crossroads right now. I know things aren’t where I want them, and I keep trying to “plan” and “mend” and “prepare.” Someone explained it to me like this: There’s no perfect time to have a child. Something will always come up. Sure, you can plan a bit, but there is so much beyond your control it’s never “just right.” Yet the moment you see of that new child/experience/business/life you realize that all the scary, unplanned insanity was SO worth it. Good luck climbing your mountains.

Two quotes come to mind when I read your post. “If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is to keep walking.” ~ Ancient Buddhist expression. And, “Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” I don’t know who said that one, but it ties in nicely I think with all you’re talking about, goals, fears, accomplishments. One note, do not mess around with “What’s the worse that can happen?” when climbing a mountain. Be smart about it, be prepared, above all, HAVE FUN! I’ll be looking forward to your post about it

Sean, we are on the same page once again. All this week there’s been this thought that keeps coming back to me. “There is never going to be a perfect time.” I was excited to see that it was written in this post!

I really like everything you said here, and good luck with your hike. Looks like a great time.

Hope all is well.

Great post Sean! I’ve been thinking about quitting my job and doing some travelling myself. I have it all planned out and yet the last step, the quitting-my-job part, still really scares me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I will start thinking about whats the worst that could happen.

Have fun climbing that mountain on Saturday!
