Daring Adventure…
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.” ~ Helen Keller
I love this quote, but I could also summarize it in three words: “Take a risk!” To me Helen is telling us that we are not truly living unless we step into the unknown and face the unimaginable. It’s so true. Reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend the other day:
R: “so how is your new job?”
Me: “I’m doing well el 7amdolla, I still have a lot to learn, but they like me so far.”
R: “sounds great! Good for you, Mai. Did you plan all of this as you dreamed of leaving the medical field and jump in to this, although you never worked it before?”
Me: “No. Planning sucks. I prefer to wander around and amuse myself as I go. All kinds of fun stuff just pops up that way. ”
R : “Me, too. ”
Although I DO plan some things in my life, I have no guarantees. Everything I have accomplished in the last 2+ years has been the result of taking risks. Had I not stepped out and followed my dream, I would have missed out on so much – this blog, new friends … I have been living a daring adventure. Have you?
