For a while now, I have had a growing sense of urgency. And I think only recently have I been able to name it. This sense of urgency comes from the desire to live a life of purpose. No longer can I work for nothing more than a paycheck, striving for the Zion that is retirement. At this point, I don't even want to "retire" in the traditional sense.
Guillebeau, in "The Art of Non-Conformity, discusses how to achieve that freedom. Far from becoming independently wealthy, he champions a sustainable lifestyle, chasing after what is really important. This requires some serious introspection, and moving beyond fear, especially the fear of failure.
As I read this book, it met me right where I was, with an open and honest message. This is exactly how I hope the Canoe to the Future project will be for followers, something that others can relate to. The question I ask myself, and any reader of this blog : Are you ready to jump face first into a life redefined?
