Beyond the Horizon

How One Piece Inspired My Global Exploration

The Spark of Exploration

In an era when the internet and social media were far less developed than they are today, I don't know exactly when the desire to explore the world first took root in me. Perhaps it was those countless nights spent watching One Piece. The story of Luffy and his crew, driven by their unwavering pursuit of dreams and constant ventures into unknown seas, profoundly inspired me. Their spirit of adventure kindled in me a yearning for distant horizons.

Initially, my world was confined to the streets around my home and the classrooms of my school, each day a repetition of the last. Then one day, standing on the top floor of a tall building, overlooking the bustling city below, a powerful urge surged within me: I wanted to go further and see more of the world. Gradually, I realized that distance wasn’t just a geographical measure but an inner journey—a pursuit of my true desires.

Everyone harbors something hidden deep within—perhaps in the body, mind, blood, or subconscious. This realization sparked my desire to explore both the world and myself.

Lessons from Travel

I began stepping out of my comfort zone, venturing into the broader world. My first trip abroad took me to a country with a completely different language and culture. The unfamiliar streets, the warm-hearted strangers, and the unique landscapes immersed me in an exhilarating sense of freedom and excitement with every new experience.

After a few trips, I decided to embark on an even grander adventure—a journey around the world. My first global tour took me across five continents, from the deserts of the Middle East to African safaris, from ancient European towns to bustling Asian metropolises. Each thrilling experience came with its own set of challenges. My second global journey allowed me to delve deeper into diverse cultures and lifestyles.

Throughout these travels, I gradually realized that the true essence of exploration lies not in the number of places visited but in the wholehearted immersion in each moment of the journey. Every new place offered fresh perspectives and deeper understanding, guiding me closer to my inner self.

Embracing the Present, Creating Unique Value

Now, I focus on living fully in each moment. I’ve discovered that only by embracing the present can we truly understand ourselves and find inner peace.

The desire to explore the world stems from a deep inner calling. Whether through anime, music, books, or any other passion, we can uncover the paths to our true selves. On this journey, we not only discover our most authentic selves but also create unique, irreplaceable value.

I encourage you to observe what is hidden in your body, mind, blood, and subconsciousness from what you are passionate about. When things you are watching and listening to make you feel excited, pumped, enthusiastic, and even crazy, find clues from them. These clues can help you uncover your potential and embark on a journey that is uniquely yours.

Have a great weekend! 💛
