When I was looking on line for information on the Camino Ingles, in particular convenient places to stay over four days, I came across a couple of blogs of others who had done the walk and which made think my own blog was lacking; they both included plenty of what I call 'fridge magnet philosophy' with phrases like 'a spiritual journey for a new way of living' and talking about the 'sacred purpose' behind the walk. I thought I had better look at addressing these shortfalls in my blog and approach to the camino if I were to retain credibility in the eyes of my fellow bloggers. The sacred purpose was easy as I have had one since I arrived: to try the wines of all the regions I pass through. I think I have pursued that with some dedication. But I am a bit more challenged by the motivational-come-spiritual enlightenment soundbites. I was thinking about it while I was walking and I believe I have come up with some that offer that mix of meaningless metaphor in a phrase that sounds full of gravitas.
If you believe life is shit then you need to think more like a fly
It is only by igniting your inner passions that you will melt the iceberg of sedentariness
Nothing is impossible: just ask Ethan Hunt.
I just need to decide which is the most inspiring….
"If you think life is shit..." 🤭👍
