Ten .....
Adventurers
1. Adventure Can Be Simple
Too often we think of adventure
as this big thing we have to plan and put together. Arrangements need to
be made, schedules coordinated, time secured, etc. Now that can take the
adventure right out of adventure! Adventure can be as simple as just stepping
out your door with no plan in mind.
2. Hang Out With An Adventurer
Do you know someone who has
an adventurous nature? Spend some time with them. Adventurers love to lead
others into uncharted territory.
3. Adventure Is An Attitude
Get that and you will find
adventure in everything you do.
4. Go To The Wilds
True, adventure can be found
at work, home and even in a good book. But in the wilderness, your senses
become more acute. You'll smell, see, hear and feel more. A sun-soaked
rock can feel as good as a down-covered bed; a light breeze or a cool lake
as good as a full body massage; a campfire more wonderful than turning
up the furnace; a field of flowers or just plain old earth more scent-filled
than the best perfume. The best place to start with adventure is to let
you body sense where all adventure comes from, the wilds.
5. Move Your Body
You'll see this in most of
my top ten lists. Your body knows more than your mind ever will. Hone it.
6. Be A Child
When you were five, adventure
came naturally. What did you love doing at that age? Do it. Yes, this may
mean you'll have to get in the sandbox, on a swing, hang from the monkey
bars or lead the cat around by a toy at the end of a string. (Hint: Kittens
and puppies can teach you a lot about adventure)
7. Take The Dog For A Walk
Let him or her lead. See The
Top Ten Reasons To Take Your Dog For a Walk.
8. When The Directions Say
Turn Right, Turn Left
9. Make Choices In Seconds
Not, hours or days. If you
can't decide in a few seconds, then choose not to choose. Let it go as
though you never had the choice.
10. Find a Creek and Follow
It
Upstream, downstream, it doesn't
matter
