IT'S EASY to get carried away living a busy and demanding life; work, mortgages, car loans, credit cards, barely time for a holiday once, if you're lucky, maybe twice a year. It's easy to get swept up in all the chaos, so much so that we forget to sit back and take a look around. Sometimes, we hit rock bottom before we do this. It can take losing a loved one, being diagnosed with a terminal illness or having a health scare, before we sit back and think about where we are and where we want to be. If you ask me, it doesn't have to be something life changing that forces you to sit back, you can make the decision for yourself. Happiness and health is everything. At the end of the day, it is all we have. Why wait? When we already know life could change forever tomorrow. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take. Life is short and Australia is too big and amazing not to explore. Do it while you can.
