What Is Adventure?

If you believe that Adventure means climbing a mountain, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane or traveling around the world on a motorcycle, take a look at the definition of Adventure.



"An adventure is an exciting or unusual experience.  It may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome." - Wikipedia

Mountain climbing, skydiving and traveling around the world on a motorcycle are only a few adventures that you can pursue.  There are so many more...

Here are a few examples that may seem trivial to many, but are adventures to the people in the story.

Example 1:

A friend of mine has a fear of flying so he went out and bought an airplane and took flying lessons.

This same person has a fear of motorcycles so he bought a motorcycle, took a riding course and now rides on a regular basis.

Example 2:

Another friend has a deep love of experiencing different cities and cultures and yet she has a fear of flying.  In the past 2 years she's taken many flights to travel to different places and has come home with more then a few amazing stories.

My two friends are living their adventure in spite of fears and misgivings.

Adventure will be different for each of us.  It should get your heart racing and keep you coming back for more.



Pick something you've always wanted to do and get to it.
