“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quote by Helen Keller essentially sums up life in the fast lane – although the “fast lane” is not about speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s about stepping out of the normal lane of everyday life and making changes in your life by doing things you would not normally think of doing. Or that even present a challenge for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word “adventure,” depending on where you live or the life you have already lived, will roll out a different movie of imagination in everyone’s mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, adventure would be an Indiana Jones or Pirates of the Caribbean type of life – cheating and tempting death while seeking a treasure never before uncovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, for others, it could be deciding to wear a different color outfit, or try a different meal on the menu instead of the same old standby that can always be trusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take an inventory of your life, a snapshot of where you were last year and where you are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of us tend to stay in our comfort zone. We don’t speak in front of crowds, even when asked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t get involved in different volunteer organizations because it may mean that we need to come out of our shell. We don’t speak up at a meeting because we don’t want to attract attention, or we’re not sure what others will think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why change? Why should we come out of our comfort zone and stretch a little at least?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply because it is good for us and it is good for those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who exercise after a long sabbatical from any strenuous activity usually experience aches and pains at first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their body goes into an allergic state, breaking out in sweat and shortness of breath. Before long though, after a regular diet of healthy movement, their threshold becomes greater and higher as their body becomes fit and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same can be said when we stretch out of our daily mundane lifestyle. We become capable of handling more, of giving more, of being a better person than we ever thought we could be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We develop goals and dreams we never thought possible. That lifestyle we always wanted but never thought possible suddenly comes within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when things don’t go as planned; an energizing person who has become a positive thinker will learn from the experience and grow from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how can you turn your life into a daring adventure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, leave the Indian Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean stuff to the moviemakers – unless you want to be a moviemaker – then off you go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for now, let’s concentrate on today and your day-to-day life. Where can you turn life into an adventure? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some suggestions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– If you can, how about leaving the car at home and walking to where you want to go – or even more daring – ride a bicycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– How about trying a new meal every time you go to a restaurant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Say hello to that new person at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Start a conversation instead of waiting to join in. Think of a list of question or statements that you could use to start that conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Buy the bright-colored, stand-out-from-the-crowd shirt, instead of the low-key blend-in type that says, “I’m practical”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Get up twenty minutes early and read a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Go see a movie you thought would be boring – you may be pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Stay up and watch a movie with your kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Get involved in a sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Take a course from Toastmasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Learn to belly dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Say yes to doing something you fear, especially when others believe in you and are already encouraging you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Learn how to text message on a cellular phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Learn Karate or some kind of self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Fly in a small airplane if you never have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Meet one new person a week – that’s fifty-two in a year. You’re bound to become friends with at least one or two of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Go to church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a short look at your day and note where you could be more adventurous. Over time, you’ll notice a change for the better -maybe even a new you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy adventures!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
