Make Your Life an Adventure
In this crazy thing we call a life, there are a number of things we feel we should do: get married, have children, buy a house, buy a car, be nice to people, etc. But in the end, the only thing that really matters is how happy you are. To help you begin to make your life a happier event, you need to start looking at it as an adventure – not just a ‘To Do’ list.
Growth - Never stop learning
While you might not want to earn another degree (or your first degree), you should be more than willing to learn new things. Read lots of books about subjects that fascinate you. Take classes and try new things. This way, you are always encouraging growth and stimulating your mind and finding out what YOU like to do.
Lifestyle - Travel
You don’t need to go to Bora Bora to be well-traveled and experience lifestyle. Just driving around your local area and seeing what your town has to offer is plenty. Just remove yourself from the norm once in a while. Not only it is fun, but you often come back home more appreciative of what you already have. This develops gratitude and a sense of fulfillment. Seeing something new also makes you feel like you’ve achieved a lot more that day.
Gratitude - Meet new people
Too often we feel that we only need so many friends in order to be a good and fun person. But the more people we meet, the more we can learn about our worlds and how others perceive the world to be. Try meeting new people or at least just talking to strangers to keep things interesting. Develop what I call an Attitude Of Gratitude.
Mindset - Do one thing that scares you
While this may have been paraphrased off of a famous person, it’s really good advice and it’s good for building your mindset. By taking a moment each day to do something that just terrifies you, not only will you learn how strong you are, but you will also find yourself trying new things that you thought were far out of your reach and capability.
Have a most outstanding day

Life is an adventure. I create adventure everyday, instead of making something the same old, boring routine - why not add some excitement to it. Like when I go for a run I like to imagine I’m running in a stadium being watched by thousands or looking down over the Himalays, or when sprinting trying to have that adrenaline rush that predator is after me. Be creative, think tall, think smart.

Too true, Jake. The mind is the most powerful tool we possess.

I have taken massive action to change my mindset, I signed up at 21st Centaury through you last May 2007 and went to a live event in September 2007.
I attended an Internet seminar where I got to speak with you both in Perth.
I also went to an unlimited power seminar ran by “empowerment” in Perth last month

Hi Robyn
Great to hear from you again! It was great to meet you at the seminars and I know all about the energy work you’re doing. I agree with it and don’t talk much about that (indepth) in this blog as it can be a bit much for most people. I stick to the standard “run of the mill” motivation and mindset stuff that can help anyone and everyone that wants to help themselves. Hopefully, more people like yourself emerge that want to help others and the environment we all live in.
Thanks for visiting and call back often. I will forward your message to 21CA. It’s always great to hear success stories from our graduates.
Regards - Sean

I love your attitude and overall outlook on life. I second that motion…
My husband (Justin) and I leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so.
As we have been planning for our adventure we have been updating a blog. http://www.nomadbackpackers.com We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.
Thanks,
Natalie

Hi Sean! just found your website.
very interesting ideas and point of views…
I fully agree when you say that DOING something is not enougth.. living with adventure for me is BEING someone who is adventurous, curious and ready to learn new things about himself and the world
It’s more an attitude, than a particular thing: someone who goes out for a walk does not automatically is doing something less adventourous compared to someone climbing the rocks in australia!
thanks for the space
