Ongoing Adventure

I've been learning a lot about living in the moment lately. I am one that tends to worry about tomorrow and lean on the past. I know now that it is hindering me from experiencing life. I am so quick to see the negative in everything that I give absolutely nothing a chance. I find myself saying, "No." instead of, "Yes." I don't leave my comfort zone and I rely on others to entertain me. This is not the person I want to be. I expect more from myself and I'm tired of watching life just pass me by. The waiting game is over. I'm on the hunt to find my passion, my evolution. I want to live my life fulfilled and present and honest.

Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure. We leave our homes for work, acting and even believing that we will reach our destinations with no unusual event startling us out of our set expectations. The truth is we know nothing, not where our cars will fail or when our buses will stall, whether our places of employment will be there when we arrive, or whether, in fact, we ourselves will arrive whole and alive at the end of our journeys.

Life is pure adventure and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
