Part II: Actions

Action one: In the next two weeks, what is one adventure you will take within a hundred feet of your own front door?

Action two: Find an adventure partner and agree on a destination or experience that would be “adventurous” to you both. Open your mind as to what this could be for you. Choose something that is safe but feels boundary pushing.

Key Insights

1. Leading a life of adventure does not mean traveling to climb the Acropolis or gaze at the northern lights. It means looking at our own lives with a sense of wonder, of novelty. Every single day provides an opportunity to see the world with fresh eyes.

2. A key to leading an adventurous life is navigating the “ninety-degree turns”—the unexpected challenges and opportunities. It is in our ability to take the corners with openness that we experience the fullness of life.

3. Adventure imparts a delicious sense of uncertainty. “Getting lost” allows us to experience a moment’s serendipity, eschewing the cloying common sense that we must have complete control over our routines.

4. Memories are the currency of a life well lived, and living with a sense of adventure seals in memory. When we stay in our comfort zones, life tends to fly by, melding one day into the next.

5. Keeping an attitude of adventure close at mind and heart ensures we live fully in the present, creating and solidifying memories for the future.
