Deep Thoughts

Ever stop and think how quickly time goes by. You know, the sand in the hour glass of life. Someone recently asked me how long ago a certain vacation was and I said, "three years ago?" They responded, "no, six." I was taken back to say the least.

What's my point? Become aware of how fast time goes by. Be aware that routine creates comfort in that just because it's easy doesn't mean it's what's best for you. Don't become the person that turns numb from the comfort of routine and that you didn't feel a thing when that great adventure called life slipped away like sand between your fingers.

But there is no reason to fret. The opportunity for adventure will always be present. The tough thing to do is to embrace it. Grasp it with both hands and hold on tight! Don't let comfort or the easy path take hold of you. Rise above the routine, the monotony and the mundane for a life more exciting.

Put on some "adventure swag" and get out there, experience life and make memories. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Go places you normally wouldn't. Break the mold of the former you.

What's in it for you if you so choose to lead this alternate life? A heart full of joy, a soul filled with vigor, a horizon wider than you could ever imagine, and a life story longer and richer than you could have ever imagined. 

And never forget, you only get one shot at this thing called life. Make it count.
