Life's Adventures.. Every Day is One
I'm feeling reflective today. Life is most certainly one grand adventure... each day is an adventure, if we choose to look at it that way. Full of highs, lows, successes, failures, scary dark corners, the unknown, things that can go right or wrong.... no matter what each day brings, the good, the bad and the ugly, we must face everything that comes with confidence, bravery, and strength.
I remember when I was being bullied in school as a kid and rather than being afraid to face the day, I would view it as an adventure to be had where I did not know what was going to happen -- something good, something going well or right for me? Or something going very wrong? And I would prepare myself mentally for the day's adventure ahead, bolstering myself with courage and strength to face whatever happened.
That is how an adventure works, and I think this attitude came from my father. He is one adventurous soul and it rubbed off on me at a very young age. He took us hiking, skiing and camping and on many great adventures when I was growing up. These taught me perseverance, fearlessness, confidence and determination. Plus, he has a very positive outlook and attitude on life, and I believe I adopted it myself. So today is a brand new adventure to embrace ... bring it on!
