- Time of past OR future Camino
- Future: Santiago de Compostela (March 2015)
Hello everyone.
My name is Glenn Petter, I am 25 years of age and I am from Norway.
To be completely honest, I am lazy, I lack discipline and I feel imprisoned by myself, my mind.
It is weird, but less than a week ago, I had never heard about El Camino or even Santiago de Compostela.
I was talking with this girl, and she told me about a trip she was going to take, a long walk. It caught my interest at once, so she told me to watch "The Way". It didn't take many minutes untill my mind said "I am going to walk all the way from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago". This was six days ago. Today, 18th February, 2015, I have already booked a flight and prepared most of my backpack.
I am travelling to Paris 17th March, 2015, and heading to St Jean Pied de Port the day after, and I have never been more happy. I am ready to walk the way to Santiago!
At the same time, I am really scared. Scared of failure, scared of my own mind.
I feel like this is my chance to prove to myself that I am stronger than I think I am, and most of all, I am ready to feel alive and in control.
I called my boss after I booked the tickets, to ask for a vacation. So I told him about the trip, and all I got was a doubtful "ok, you get to take the vacation". This motivates me even more.
It is time for me to start my life. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, this is the day I take back the control of my mind. Instead of saying "No, I can't do it", I will say "Yes, I can, and I will do it!"
