I'm exploring the possibilities of living a life that's natural. An individual using his gifts, what he's naturally good at, rather than getting a job just to pay the bills. Soren Kierkegaard understood this when he stated, "At each man's birth there comes into being an eternal vocation for him, expressly for him. To be true to himself in relation to this eternal vocation is the highest thing a man can practice."
William Wordsworth once said, "The child is father of the man." All we need to do is look back at what inspired our childhood, the thing that held our imagination captive.
As a child, I was fascinated by cars. I pulled apart all my toy cars, reconfiguring the remote controlled ones to work manually (reverse engineering, which I though was cool!) It got so bad that my cousins would hide their cars when I went over to play. The mechanics aroused my curiosity and I did some silly things in my quest to understand how cars worked. Like trying to drive my dad's car when I was nine.
Cars still fascinate me. Top Gear is one of my favourite shows. Jeremy Clarkson inspires me to one day have my own show. Maybe if I lived out my slip-stream dreams, I might actually do that. Although, it would probably be about lifestyle... and some cars.
