WorldWide Life

In the previous few days of street luging, quad biking and bungee jumping I came across a quote that I is important for people to think about every now and then; “when was the last time you did something for the first time?”
We are so easily pulled into the monotony of our day to day routines that we can easily forget the excitement of doing something for the first time. It’s a different feeling of achievement when you don’t kill yourself, or better yet perform admirably in something foreign. Using your brain and body in ways you previously couldn’t imagine to conquer the unknown can remind us of how many things we are capable of if only we chose to extend ourselves.
A great man once said “For me, life is about continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, and to conquer.” I urge everybody to step outside of your known world and accept the challenge of doing something for the first time; no matter the outcome you’ve already achieved something great.

Something wonderful happens when you book a one way ticket.  There is joyous sense of freedom and exhilaration, mixed with anxiety and nervous trepidation that can only come from the unforeseeable.  There is an additional bonus for me, a self-coined, and repeatedly verified “planner”, I afford myself the opportunity to go all Tyler Durden and just let go.  You’re not your job.  You’re not how much money you have in the bank.  You’re not the car you drive.  You’re not the contents of your wallet.  You’re not your fuckin’ khakis.  

You are you.  The compilation of your experiences, interactions, victories and defeats amassed thus far in your life.  Everyone you meet is a mixed bag but everybody has the commonality that their experience have led them to the same place you find yourself in that moment.  Each person is searching to find something whether it be a spiritual awakening, a better version of themselves, a perfect picture, or maybe just a tasty pint.  And best of all, we are all day to day.  No plan, maybe just an outline.  Be to the airport in a month to go to the next adventure.  Now go meet some people and do some stuff; you got 30 days… tick tock.
