Embracing Change Wisconsin Spring

Spring in Wisconsin is all about embracing change. The same is true in life. We’ll talk about it in Embracing-Change-Wisconsin-Spring-Bob Davis Podcast 1162.

Travel Is Constant Change

Above the thing about travel is the constant change.

Issues in Life

Therefore when I stop down for the summer in Wisconsin I am confronted with these same issues in life.

New Wrinkles

As a matter of fact as I work harder and harder on my videos for the YouTube Channel that in itself is a big personal change.

For the link to the video version of this podcast click here.

Equally important is the nature of the season of spring.

Travel In The Southwest

After all most of my travel this winter has been in the Southwestern US.

Documenting Travel

And I have produced several videos and podcasts about my travels.

High Points

For example the Pacific Coast Highway in California, Death Valley and finally heading east on America’s Loneliest Highway Route 50.

Grateful To Watch Full Seasonal Change

Given many thousands of miles of nomadic travel this season staying in one spot gives me an opportunity to watch a full seasonal change.

Spring eventually becomes summer.

Depths Of Winter

Firstly up here in Northwestern Wisconsin when one is existing in the depths of winter…

It’s undeniably true that it feels like summer will never come.

To Glorious Summer

But it does!

And it’s truly glorious.

Brown To Blue Skies

Because I was able to see the change from barren brown and grey to verdant green and blue skies…

Analogy To Change

I was able to draw the analogy to changes in life as a result,

Resist Change

‘Secondly it is also true that we resist change.

Running To Seasons Change

Yet we run to the change of seasons.

Spring To Summer

Especially winter to spring and then on to summer.

Why Don’t We Embrace Change

Given these points I wonder why we don’t embrace change in our lives in the same manner?

Grateful

Even if we’re moving from Fall to Winter we might be grateful the heat of summer has passed.

Contrast

In contrast when it comes to personal change we wonder what we did to ‘deserve’ a certain result.

Fight Change

Or we fight to prevent the change from happening.

An Era Of Chaotic Change

Finally we’re living through an era significant because of its complexity and chaotic change.

Good

On the one hand change is good,

Bad

On the other hand it isn’t always easy to handle.

Aging

Even more we all age.

Growing Up

In addition those around us grow up and grow old.

Growing Old

In spite of our efforts people pass away.

Afterward I’ve always thought it strange that they have moved on but all their stuff is still here.

Life Goes On

Meanwhile lie goes on and we must cope.

Difficult Life

Also from time to time we are confronted with difficult circumstances which have the same finality.

Not Easy

At this instant it isn’t easy.

But we have to go on.

Better To Embrace Change

These days I am thinking it is better to embrace change than to fight it.

Nomad Decisions and Stories

Above all my nomad decisions and stories are my own. They are not meant as judgements. Learn more in Nomad-Decisions-Stories-Bob Davis Podcast 1046.

Not Easy

Secondly nobody said it would be easy.

Certainly we nomads love to tell the story of how it all went down.

Review

Lately I have been reviewing my decision to get rid of everything and hit the road.

To clarify I do not regret that decision.

Anatomy Of A Decision

But I think the process of making the decision is interesting.

Even more I don’t think anyone is having an easy time with life these days.

Therefore the idea of discussing life changing decisions helps everyone.

And telling some nomad stories along the way.

Another Great Nomad Story

For example someone I met had rented a car, threw her stuff in it, and within three hours was on the road.

Forever.

She’s still driving the rented SUV.

“I’ll deal with that later”.

Action Is What’s Important

In the same vein Nomad-Decisions-Stories-Bob Davis Podcast 1046 is about the process of making a big decision and taking action on it.

Most importantly I don’t regret it.

No Best Practices

However I am not really sure if I used ‘best practices‘ in making that decision.

To sum up here, the main thing is it was a decision that was acted upon.

Pure Bliss

Certainly that led to pure bliss as I drove and drove across the country and back.

High Prices

On the other hand the current high price of fuel as me stopped down in the desert with a bunch of nomads in the same boat.

This too is a learning experience.

Finally where ever listeners and subscribers are..

No matter how hard it gets.

Choices and Decisions

We still have choices and we can still make decisions.

And take action.

In short every now and then I like to review and retell the story of how I got here.

In addition revisit what I consider success to be.

Nomad Definition of Wealth and Success

And what wealth looks like out here.

Sometimes that’s a hot shower and a good Internet connection.

And that’s OK.
