Sometimes an adventure means trying something out of your comfort zone,
no matter how wild or uncertain it may seem. Whether it’s going to new route in
your own city at the weekend, practicing new sports or taking on a challenge
you have been waiting to try all your life, it’s worth trying everything. Maybe
you will meet someone unexpectedly that will change the course of your life.
Once you start seeking discomfort, you’ll be tempted for something new.
If nothing else in life, we have a sense of how we react and react to
the mundane, boring, and difficult life. We can curse what is not, or we can
engage in what is and it is still a great adventure. When you consciously see
your journey through the lens of your experiences, pause at the moment when
your heart feels like speaking and ask yourself: “What is the call of
adventure”? Get a sense of checking in yourself and feel the potential
adventure that could lead you to important values.
What is happening to you is not just a coincidence, but part of an important,
even epic journey. How many times have you expressed confidence that a bold
step into the unknown will go down well? And how often are you sure that your
courageous steps into unknown realms have been well received?
The remarkable thing is that the lady who wrote this amazing quote ‘Life
is either a daring adventure or nothing” Helen Keller lived this life, and
there are many people who were inspired by her to live life to the fullest. She
published “Faith in fear or not” contains the following passage. The adventure
we call life is described as exhilarating, but we know it can throw us off.
Some call it downright nagging, some are older than us.
The quote attributed to a woman who had to behave for so many reasons
not to regard life as a risky adventure struck a chord with me. When I read
this, I rolled my eyes at my current circumstances, which would be considered a
kind of adventure.
Safety is usually superstition, but I think she always felt that she
wanted to "make up" all the years she had to lose when her mother
died, even if it was only a few months after her death and not a year or two
later. Without an anchor of sights and sounds that would guide me, I could know
that there was no real gravity, no ground, no people looking for me and they would
have been there.
Daring adventures require us to trust that life will unfold according to
a plan greater than our own. If we can’t believe in what we see and hear, then
what we have is what we had. Holding our faces against transition and living in
the face of destiny like free spirits is a force which we cannot overcome.
Looking for thrill and excitement requires faith in life and yourself.
What’s the worst that can happen? So, you have an ambitious goal or just
a notion of how you want your life. But you keep putting it off because of the
one emotion 'fear' that everything might end up wrong. As soon as you're done
imagining the complete horror of failure, wonder what you'd do then?
Look for the helpers. Don't hesitate, because you have
everything you need for this wonderful journey, your imaginative mind, your
intellect, your curiosity, your love, your emotions, your link on the path that
leads to life. Anything else in your life is just a bonus.
The worst can happen and often does. But it happens
despite, not because, you’re living life to the full. Life is a bitch. And then
it isn’t. What is there really to lose except a regret of not satisfying the
hunger of your life?
So, love life with full intensity. Love the people and
allow yourself to be loved. Don't let yourself fall in the pretence of fake
love. Feel everything that the world has to offer. And go for what you desire,
never let the society keep you away from wanting what you want. Even when you
can't see the ground in front of you, have faith and remember to look for the
helper and let them help you.
If you're dissatisfied where you're, just one step in a
new direction is all it takes. This is the adventure. The ground will be there.
