create your own . reality

Some people make things happen, some watch things happen, while others wonder what has happened”

– old proverb

We live in a time where you can do and be anything we want. Alright that might sound a bit kumbaya, but don’t worry I won’t make you hold hands and sing. Social media has truly changed the game. With a still or video camera or even just a computer, average Joes and Josies are becoming published authors, photographers, international speakers, scoring TV and movie deals…all the while creating global fans.

What makes these highly successful people different from you and I? It may be absolutely nothing other than the fact that they put themselves out there. They picked up the camera or devoted the time to write down their thoughts and ideas every day.

One such person is a guy named Luke. Luke used to work for me and was one of those remarkable people you never forget. You see, Luke is a bit of an enigma. He marches to the beat of his own drum. And most people love him for it. Just today, I was notified that Luke is launching into what may well be the journey of his lifetime. Luke and his best friend Alex have launched alexandluke.com. On March 20th they’ll be setting out on a journey to travel through every province, state and territory in North America. They’ll have no scheduled routes and no planned stops. Instead, their blog readers will act as their compass (pointing them where to go) and their guide book (telling them what to see).

Luke could have been like every other university graduate out there fighting for a chance at a job in a down market. Instead, Luke created his own reality.

Don’t forget to become a fan of their facebook page for their latest travel updates.
