We are all meant for so much more than a small, unexamined life. The world is vast and its wonders infinite. The call to explore in life is an invitation to live fully, discover your potential,and find your own unique way of contributing to the world.
Being curious and open-minded leads to a more meaningful and fulfilling existence. Establishing a mindset for discovery improves our well-being and helps us to get to know more about who we are.
Adventure can happen anywhere. As John Muir says, It's more about going in. This connection, when it happens, is really one of the rare freedoms we can experience on a day to day basis.
Immersing yourself in nature is a simple yet effective way to go within. Slowing down with the natural sounds and rhythms of nature really helps us to find precious moments of awareness, so crucial to allowing us to make real choices. In this way we can say that adventure in nature is a powerful teacher.
Around 14 years ago, my husband and I explored the Pacific Northwest spending a great deal of time in Olympic National Park. It was an amazing adventure that resulted in a new appreciation of nature and natural silence. You can get a taste of this exploration from my book, Mother Nature A Bridge to Conscious Living.
Adventure can also strengthen relationships. Undertaking a large or small adventure with friends and loved ones really creates a shared experience so important for bonding, building trust, creating meaning and a sense of achievement. A simple walk in the local countryside can be hugely mood enhancing and creative.
You don't have to go far to go on an adventure. Adventure can take place in your own home, garden or local park. It's more about being present and experiencing the simplicity life can offer.
Adventures are good for us. Go ahead and plan your adventure today because the world is ours to explore and discover.
