“I understand there’s a guy inside me who wants to lay in bed, smoke weed all day, and watch cartoons and old movies. My whole life is a series of stratagems to avoid, and outwit, that guy.” -Anthony Bourdain
This past year in 2019, I was fortunate to have opportunities to travel for work and for adventure. This is something I refuse to take for granted. Some revel in routine and having a homebase surrounded by loved ones. I admire that. I applaud that. But that life is not for me, at least not yet.
While I'm still physically able, I want to see and experience as much of the world as possible. This is my personal belief on what will eventually be a life well-lived. It is not for everybody, but it is certainly my truth.

Billy, it took me 60 years to discover the truth of your message. Thanks for reminding us of the importance of embracing the moment becasue life is too short to put off discovering your passion and pursuing your life's purpose.

This hit me hard....real hard. I told my wife yesterday that I am happy making way less money than I do now, if I can spend time with her and training for my first marathon. We didn't want kids, we wanted to enjoy the little time we have together and go on adventure's. I am now in the proces of making it happen. Thank you for making these videos!!!!

Wow! I'm 65 and yet the inherent wisdom in your words speaks loudly. Even if you have family and professional obligations, don't forget to keep searching for who you are. The answers are so worth the effort.

This really hit me spot on. I've had to many years where I chose to close my self from the world and memories (PTSD). Recent years I've been comming back and startet running again. I'm a single dad, and my son needed my prescence more. That was a succes on top of a traumatic periode and I chose to continue. Now he and I need to travel to more of the ultras.

@AnnaKateEdgemon0124 4 жыл бұрын

Your films are one of the big reasons why I decided to run an ultra-and film it all- before i turn 30. (I'm currently 28.)

Hey brother thank you for this video, this reminds me exactly of me!:)..and it's always refreshing seeing other people who live the same way, I'm 43 I live in a small modest place but I made it my own, I live very simple I don't need alot but the area I'm in is absolutely beautiful, in the winter time I love to run in the reservations near me and go for hikes and walks and never want to be inside ,and when summer comes around I'm close enough to drive to the shore or I could be at the beach and also go for a nice long walks and rides and runs down there, I'm not "rich" im comfortable but the way I live &the way I feel I can do anything I want anytime I want and I definitely feel I'm rich so thanks a lot brother!;)

I remember 2 years ago watching the video of yours called along the lines of Why a 100 miles, it literally changed my life and i cannot even comprehend on how much i'm living all thanks to that video bringing me to tears. That day changed it for good and now i'm truly living with so many lessons learned in life, and thank you for that. Here is to 2020 for all of us!

Wish I could say that. I’m only 16 and my life is already headed in the direction of money money money. I wish I could change this to what billy is talking about but it’s so so hard and there are so many roadblocks in my way to get to the ideal way of living. How will I overcome this challenge? Because if I don’t then I’m stuck in a rut living my worst fear.

I am a 34 yr old software tester with a wife and one kid. My wife and I both work a lot and earn a lot. She works part time, for free, on social media for a company our friend owns. I work out 7 days a week, at least 2 hours a day (running or boxing). Both of us wish we could quit our day jobs and monetize our side passions but haven't figured out how yet. I often joke how we are both going to have a midlife crises at the same time and just quit work. I'm honestly not sure what we will do or how we will manage our sanity with the 9-5, we just have each other for support. I follow you on KZfaq because your videos are great and it's fun to imagine another life where I travel the ultra running circuit. Last year I attempted but did not finish two 100 milers, signed up for them again in 2020 and really hoping this year I can finish and do more marathons and Ultras and maybe that will be enough to keep me sane at work
