Want Adventure?

Adventure is a funny thing. We seem to all crave it.  Maybe not all, but within many of us lies a desire to get caught up in something bigger than ourselves.  We want to be swept away into a land of mystery.

Billions of dollars are spent on movies, video games, and other virtual mechanisms that try to take us to another place.

The truth is, adventure is our for the taking.  It’s all around us.  As kids we know this to be true. All it takes is some awesome sun glasses and a cape and the sky is the limit for us.

But along the way of life we stop caring, we stop wanting more with our lives, and start settling.  To a degree some settling has to occur, after all we are adults now and have to take care of our responsibilities, but that doesn’t mean we abandon the crazy dreams and adventurous life style we want.

What is your dream?  What do you want to do?  Chances are whatever it is, it requires risk, it requires taking chances, and not being able to see what’s around the next bend.

But don’t be afraid of that.  Embrace it and run forward.  Life is what you make of it. If you want it to be complacent and safe, you can make it that way, if you want a daring adventure, you can make that happen.
