You Should Know Roz Savage

Roz Savage rocks.

If you haven’t been following Ted talks (what’s wrong with you?!), you should definitely check out this little gem. Roz is a British lady, who woke up one morning and felt like her life wasn’t quite right.

To figure out what to do about it, she decided to write two versions of her obituary.

The first obituary was for the life path she was currently on, a good life, but not quite the life she had envisioned for herself.

The second obituary told another story – of a her life full of adventure, excitement and most importantly, meaning.

Looking at the two versions, she realized that was a large discrepancy between them: if she wanted the life she really wanted, she would have to make some changes.

In true hero form, she quit her job (I love it when people do that) and decided to row across the oceans. Alone.

I hate to be a Stevie Spoiler here, so I won’t go into the details of the rest of her story. But I will draw your attention to one part: before going on her adventure, Roz had a very specific idea about what ‘adventurers’ were supposed to look like.

Might be worth thinking about whether you see yourself as an adventurer too?

Of course, we’re all about saving the planet here. Yes, she talks about that too. :)

    This sounds like a great TED talk. I’m going to watch it now. I too, love when people quit their jobs and follow their dreams. I hope to be doing that in the next couple years. Thanks for the heads up!
