Do you have the courage to do it?

It takes courage to leave your conventional life and hit the road full-time in an RV.

Courage is knowing it might hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing. And that is why life is hard. ~ Dr. Jeremy Goldberg

Whether your friends and family think you're doing the right thing or not by hitting the road and living full-time in an RV probably has a lot to do with how much courage you will need to have when it comes to making the decision.

We would all like for our family and friends to agree with out decision and think we're making the right choice, but the truth is they probably won't. I think Steve Jobs summed it up best when he said, . . .

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

What you can learn from the movie, City Slickers

In the movie, City Slickers, Curly said to Billy Crystal's character, Matt, "You spend 50 weeks a year getting knots in your rope and then you think two weeks up here will untied them for you. It doesn't work that way."

You already know that two weeks on a vacation won't fix all the problems in your life.

When you start RVing, you'll realize that two months on the road in an RV won't solve all your problems either.

Curly also said to Billy Crystal, "The secret of life is one thing." When Billy Crystal asked him what that one thing was, Curly said, "That's for you to figure out."

Maybe you've figured it out. Maybe the secret of life for you (at least, the secret of living a happy life), is to live and travel full-time in an RV. If it is, you have to have the courage to make it happen.

Bottom line: Doing things for the first time can be scary. I bet that's what the baby elephant in the picture at the top of the page is thinking.
