My unfulfilled desires
My unfulfilled desires
One of the favorite questions of the journalists : ” now that you got everything you wanted, do you still have dreams?”
First, I didn’t get everything I wanted, although I got the most important things in life (love, fulfilling my personal legend, faith). Writing is a constant challenge, where you have to dig into your soul, having discipline, inspiration, and courage at the same time.
Second, like everybody else, I have my list of things that I want to do, and are still waiting. I don’t make “New Year’s” resolutions, but there are several unfulfilled tasks. I have enough time (contrary to the legend that famous people are always busy – they are not), I can afford, but I postpone.
Here is my list of things that I would love to do, and I never did. Would you please also share yours?
A]to learn how to dance well (from a 1 to 10 scale, I would say I am 2)
B] to learn how to play guitar ( from the same scale, I am definitely 1)
C] spend three months in a monastery, totally isolated from the world ( I already talked to the abbot three years ago, but I am always postponing)
D] a safari in Africa (politically incorrect, of course)
E] to sponsor a good boxer (I know it sounds politically incorrect, as the previous item, but boxing for me is the ultimate body dialogue)
F] to learn boxing myself
G] being in orbit circling the planet (the Russians are making a business out of it, but I never actually sought the information out)
H] to have dinner with Nelson Mandela (this one I tried, but I did not manage so far)
I] to fly a Mirage (as a passenger, of course)
While writing this list, I realized that I did most of the things I wanted (the most recent being a 9.280 kms train journey from Moscow to Vladivostok, in 2006). And probably I also have some other itens that are so hidden in my heart that I don’t even know. But just in case that I remember some more, I will update this list.
So, what are your “New Year” resolutions that you never ever managed to fulfill?
