Mark Twain Said it Best

  “Twenty years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

 

    This is something I deeply desire to do. I want to see world. I want to go where ever the wind blows me, or where the spirit leads me. I want to look back on my youth and smile because I took the opportunity to explore, because I took a risk.

So go against what the ‘world’ says in normal

Venture

See the world
Do something crazy
Go someplace new
Someplace uncharted
Live someplace new, even of for a few weeks
Hike to water falls
Watch the sun set from a different hemisphere
Fall asleep to the sound of rain on a tin roof
See the night sky from a new place
So let’s go. Let’s explore. Let’s see the world. Let’s be changed by beautiful views, and loving people.
 “This true difference in me now: I had these experiences, these tales, more of this life. So maybe it wasn't the fairy tale. But those stories weren't real anyway. Mine were.”
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride
