You’ll find me on a boat,

Heading out to sea,

Rolling on the waves,

Travelling to me.

Someone once said that if we wish to discover new oceans we must have the courage to lose sight of the shore. This is how Columbus discovered America: with courage, he sailed out away from the shore, not along it. He was brave enough to lose sight of the land he knew and journey into the unknown. We too must finally be brave enough to let go of the life we are currently living, in order to reach our dream life, the place and the person we long to be. We must let go of how we define ourselves, of the thoughts we think, and the routines and habits that we adopt, in order to experience new ones.

And if there’s a shared goal or destination you have in mind, even better. These boats have space for many souls, and the more oars that are pulling for you, the better.
