What
advice does Cameron have for other parents?
Society today sees us
valuing the pursuit of finances and material possessions over time with our
children, family or friends.
We work away the best
years of our life, miss our children growing up, all so we can have financial
freedom when we retire.
The problem is, by the
time many of us retire we can't physically do the things we always wanted to
do, our kids have moved away and pursued their own life and the nice house and
car seems totally pointless because we missed out on seeing our children grow
up.
Life is more important
than amassing material possessions and financial freedom, not many people spend
time on their deathbed wishing they worked harder and made more money. Rather
they often regret the things they did not do, or the time they didn't spend
with loved ones.
Making the decision to
travel means making sacrifices. It's not always easy and it's not all sunshine
and lollipops. Like anything, it has its ups and downs. I might miss my nice
car and my nice 'stuff' but what I am not missing is spending the best years of
my life, raising my son.
If you want to do it, you
need to let go of the concept that money is going to buy happiness and instead
embrace the simple things in life like your family, friends, nature, and the
gift that is every day.
A lot of people say 'Oh
you are so lucky, I wish I could do that'. Guess what? None of it was luck or
wishing. Instead it was lots of hard work and sacrifice. The problem is most
people are not willing to step out of their comfort zone and give it a try.
