| Take
heed of the Seven Deadly Sins... They may
just change your life for the better.
1. Envy is the desire for others'
situation.
Admit it, you are sick to death of hearing
about your friends/families travels. If
you see one more slide show or are sent
one more link to a personal website, brimming
with happy snaps on location in an exotic
locale, you are likely to burst. Why? Because
you wish it were you, you’ve been
stuck in a rut working 9 to 5, heading home
to watch the idiot box, only to turn up
the next day and do it all again. You spend
most of your weekly earnings on weekend
indulgences and have nothing to show for
it. The last thing you need is for a smug
traveller to point out what they have worked
hard for and gone out and done.
2. Anger is manifested in the individual
who opts for fury.
You are grumpy with yourself; suddenly that
lobster thermidor you ate on Saturday night
seems like a waste, that’s 50 dollars
you could have put toward an adventure.
Now you’re left with a stomachache
and a bad taste in your mouth as you head
back to the humdrum of 9 to 5 and idiot
box.
3.
Greed is the desire for gain
You decide it is not too late to change,
you want to venture a little further and
see the world, you want to see how other
people live in other countries, you want
to taste different food, you want to learn
a different language, you want to stand
amongst breathtaking scenery, you want to
sit and watch the sun set then the stars
rise, you want to not have a care in the
world. Time for a change, you buckle down
and focus on travelling the world with Kumuka
Worldwide by saving some $ or taking advantage
of the interest free finance.
4.
Gluttony is a desire to consume more than
that which one requires.
The next thing you know it is you on location
in an exotic locale, not yet another friend
or family member. You have worked hard to
get to this point so now you indulge in
local food; you immerse yourself in the
local culture and take advantage of all
of the optional activities presented to
you. You fill yourself to the absolute brim
with sensory overload and you love every
minute of it. You’ve taken a multitude
of photographs and can’t WAIT to get
home to upload them onto your personal website
and send the link around to your unsuspecting
friends and family. Now you have stories
to share with them, and not only be bored
by their tales.
5.
Sloth is the avoidance of work.
Well
of course! You’re on holiday! Someone
else is and has been working for you, from
your travel agent to your tour leader and
driver, everyone involved is doing their
best to make sure your adventure becomes
a trip of a life time.
7.
Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities.
You look back at what you have achieved
and take a little time to dwell on your
accomplishment. You did it and you can do
it again. Life will never look the same
again.
8.
Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures
of the body.
We’ll leave that one up to your imagination!
So
what are you waiting for? Take heed of the
Seven Deadly Sins and Venture a Little Further.
