GRAB AN ADVENTURE

I have become aware of how much everyone needs to be on an adventure in their life. For me, adventure is a one-way ticket to where the road ends at the top of the world with no way out but to pedal south 3700 miles.  But yours may be just as astoundingly profound and exhilerating as mine.  The real question is, what adventure are you on? 

This adventure I'm currently on is wild and unpredictable; I just don't know how it will all end.  But that's the nature of adventures--going places we've only dreamed of going to.  

Adventures take action, they launch us out into the deep in places and ways that scare us spitless.  Yet we still take the risk because we can, because we dare to. Listen to how Anne Lamott sizes up adventure . . .

"Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you're 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or didn't go swimming in the warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice, big comfortable tummy, or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid?  It's going to break your heart.  Don't let this happen" (Anne Lamott).

Adventures remind us to walk through life,to stir things, up, to cast big visions, to have fun, take risk, love, learn, and laugh a lot. But above all, to have adventures to such an extent that you exit life with no regrets.
