Adventure

"Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle."
Annie Besant

Do you feel like life is an adventure? Or do you feel like it is a drudgery of spending your days doing your "grown-up responsibilities" of doing your job and keeping your family and friends happy. We all need a little playtime. We need something that excites us.

Life becomes an adventure only when we expect the unexpected. It becomes exciting when we never quite know what will happen next, but anticipate it to probably be something good. We know that there will be battles that we will lose, but also others that we will win. We know that we will meet fascinating comrades who are fun and helpful to share our journey with, and that we will encounter many joys.

The secret to living life fully is to be brave and gallant about it. We can't be so afraid of mistakes, failures, and lost battles that we just stay home and do nothing. We have to be ready for sport, for challenge. There are always risks, but the rewards of going out and getting in the game are huge. They more than make up for it.
