Every good thing my life has come from seeking adventure.
Ben Dodge
While it’s definitely true that not every adventure has a highlight reel style ending, they still all have one thing in common. Every single adventure was worth it. Every single adventure has taught me something new about myself. Every time I seek these opportunities out I am caught up in a growth pattern with exponential and compounding benefits. Many times these amazing life lessons and growth experiences are born out of very difficult and challenging circumstances within my adventuring. Many times they come from my failures. In fact, it is likely that my failures have taught me far more than any of my successes. Furthermore, my successes could not have been created but for first attempting through failure—and learning from my failures.
Like many of you my adventures started when I was a young boy. The difference is that as I grew older I never stopped searching for them. Never stopped creating them. Seek Adventure.
