1:28 Is it all worth it? How do you know if it is all worth it?
8:10 We have to be deliberately living our extraordinary family life every day! We should wake up with wonder and awe with our children and the life we are creating! How to maintain your pursuit of living your dream life during "the winters" in life? Life goes on and you NEED to decide how you want to live it!
16:20 The Teacher of Warsaw- book about a man during WW2 who ran an orphanage. Even in the WORST circumstances, you can CHOOSE to live your life how you want to! What are some of the 'winter' excuses you use not to pursue your dream life?
21:10 What are some of your dreams? What are the fears that come along with it? If not now then when? What if I am the only one who wants to travel? Is it still worth it to do when everyone else doesn't want to? Your travel experiences will NEVER be free from hardship, but that is all part of the journey! Help those that are less willing to travel process the travel experience! Working through all the fears of pursuing an extraordinary life IS what changes you!
35:00 How do you help your family get excited about your dreams? Look at it coming from each person's perspective and find something that you can do while traveling to excite them! Sometimes all it takes is buying candy canes. You HAVE to yourself in their shoes so you can help them address their fears!
43:14 It takes money AND figuring out how to create more income. When you have a dream to do something that requires more money it drives you to reach that which then funds your extraordinary family life! When you are filtering through your options you need to make sure that they actually align with your dream life! You don't need to commit to everything forever, sometimes things are just a stepping stone in our path.
50:00 "I want to travel internationally but I hold myself back because I have never done it and I get overwhelmed with all the details." The solution is to DO IT. Find ways to commit to figuring out the details such as buying a flight! You can use safety nets, free cancelation, to protect yourself. You CAN make it work IF you are committed to making it work. You have to keep doing research until you find a solution that works!
1:01:46 One key to making travel sustainable AND enjoyable for the family is having PLENTY of downtime. If you don't allow time to do nothing everyone will just get burnt out and resent traveling. You have to pick the important things and plan around them!
1:07:45 Whatever the circumstance, the situation, or the obstacle, get REALLY creative about finding a solution! Switch the question to "how can I?" If you do nothing your kids will grow up and move out... if you have an epic life your kids will grow up and move out. Which do you want? In either choice, there are going to be obstacles. Whatever you dream start making it your reality! Find what is available during the "winters" of life.
