Meet a Lithuanian guy who just crossed the Atlantic Ocean rowing solo. This is Aurimas Valujavicius! 🇱🇹 He is the first Lithuanian to do so, and the 3rd person in the world to finish such a trip from Spain to Miami.
“Follow your dreams. To each, his own Atlantic Ocean”, said Aurimas after he had overcome his own.
Exactly.
Everyone’s daily life is full of information about how it “should be”. Every day we see others’ harmonious lives, perfect families, successful careers, ambitious goals, and impressive achievements. And while all of this is OTHER, we are often stuck desperately trying to get what we think we want too. To be what we think we want to be too. We choose to follow the path of OTHERS. And when we have done it, when we seem to have gotten everything we have been seeking here, we suddenly wonder: where is the happiness and the fullness that I was supposed to feel?
We are each unique, and that is our strength. So let’s not waste our limited time trying to fit into other people’s frames, standards, and dreams; let’s find our OWN Atlantic. And let’s cross it.
