Panama

It was 11PM and we were sitting at the bus terminal. I didn't bring my jacket for this bus ride, but I really should have. It would get pretty chilly on the bus that night. We boarded the bus and headed west into the night. When we finally made it to David, Panama, we were all pretty tired still, but ready for some breakfast.

We would spend the extended weekend in Boquete with family and explore the great coffee Panama has to offer. The Palo Alto region had crispy, fresh air. This is what I was looking for.

Moving to Panama was about 2 years in the making. It turned from an idea to a reality, with most people not thinking we would really do it. But why Panama?

Well first of all, half of my wife's family is here. So, we wanted to get to know them. I've always wanted to learn Spanish, so it would be a great opportunity. Although until now, I have slacked a little bit... lol I'm also attending University here with a degree program I am interested in.

Steem

I just started writing here on Steemit. It has been a fun experience. I've had a website called www.IncreaseFreedom.com for a few years and have a blog there. But I felt too restricted with the content I would create there. I felt it had to be thought-provoking and inspirational. I guess I put too much pressure on myself lol.

Here on Steem, I feel I can freely write what's on my mind. Fun stuff, stories, whatever I want. I also just wrote a Travel Guide called Mastering the Fundamentals of Travel with a book in the works. My plan is to refine my writing skills here on Steemit and make the next book the best it can be. Each post I will practice a specific writing techniques. Plus writing here is fun and I can make a little bit of crypto! Who can argue with that?!

What's The Point?

Nearly every activity I do has multiple purposes. I do this because you never know what will happen. For instance, here on Steemit, I may make some serious crypto if I create great content and people notice it. However, I may not. But I'll still be winning because I'm also honing my writing skills and making good friends along the way.

Same thing with moving to Panama. Multiple reasons. Learning Spanish (albeit slow...lol) and getting to know family, who could pass that up?!

It's not about being highly efficient, but rather very intentional with how you spend your time. Your time is valuable, you never know what will happen. If your plans in one aspect of your goals "fails" then you still win because you had ways to do so.

Set yourself up for the best chances of winning in life. Have intention.

Am I saying you should act in this manner for everything you do? Nope, but a majority of your actions can follow this way of thinking with great success.

Looking back, have you done something similar to this? Do you do this regularly?
