Nothing Can Substitute Experience

Whilst I understand that it's inevitable that everyone has advice to offer - and it's probably very good advice as well .. sometimes you just have to go through the motions to 'experience' life by yourself.  If we took all the advice ever given to us would we really have lived at all ? Wouldn't we be in this safe haven where everything was always alright ? 

Sometimes you have to suck it up and just be brave, confront your fears and take that risk because YOUR experience is going to be different to someone else's experience.  It's better to say 'oh well' than keep wondering 'what if' right ? 

Is there something that you've always wanted to do ? Perhaps start a new business ? Or take a sabbatical from a Big 5 corporation to pursue a culinary course in the Big Apple  (a dear friend is doing this now) ? I've moved to two different countries to pursue my event management business and I can assure you that it's been on hell of an experience.  My advice - take all the chances you get - after all it's right there in front of you !  Have you taken a risk that resulted in an experience that you are grateful for ?
