Do you know that feeling when you really try to plan your only free day because this is your only free day of the whole week and the forecast is predicting sun for the whole day.. i´m not a planner at all but if i want to get the most out of one day, i try my best to do it.
I tried to figure out a nice hiking trail for my six flatmates and myself… haha but of course they told me that we dont have time to plan and that we should try something new and just drive somewhere so they decide spontaneously for all of us to go straight to the Tannheimer Tal, a mountain region in Austria… i was a little mad of course because i am pretty sure it will be hard to find a nice place to spend a beautiful day.
Believe it or not, we ended up hiking for 5 hours on a beautiful trail guiding us to a peak with a stunning geourgeous view, we had fresh milk at a little shelter and we finished the walk at a lake with turquoise water.. and we found this trail only by looking at a display in the parking lot we decided to park in.
Loose yourself in nature and don´t try to plan everything because it is much more exciting and beautiful if you do not know the way you are going to take. In the end you never know.. It could be a small detail which makes you choose the right or left path when you are standing at a junction. For us it was snow fields guiding us the way.. another snow field made us having another snowball fight… or deviating from the trail because the river in between the trees on the left side seemed more adventurous.. even though it was a climbing trip down some cliffs in the end haha..
In life it is your decision.. do i take the long or the short way; the way with freedom and fun or the stressfull but successful one. it is a question of happiness and fulfilment – which makes choose every person another trail, with different directions and curves.. at some point our paths will cross or they are differing all the way long but that doesn´t matter. Look for your own way; every step you take is taking you forward, never backward. Either this step is making you richer in means of experience – or it could take you into a new direction or confirm the way you have been going before.
Always keep on going , take all chances you get on your way. In life you never know where your next step is going to guide you to…. but the best experiences in life happen when you don´t know where you are going …!
Have a vision of life that inspires you, then try every day to grow closer to the fulfillment of that vision.
