Positive Thought of the Day ~ Jump into the Day

“Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.”

– Leonardo da Vinci

We have a choice each morning we open our eyes. We can choose to jump into the day and give it all we have or we can drag our butts through the day wishing the day away. Healthy people choose the former wishing there were more than 24 hours in the day. These are the folks that find happiness in the challenges and they’re always looking for the next adventure. Here’s hoping you jump into the day and take on your next great adventure.

Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Turn Your Adventurous Spirit Loose

An Adventurous Spirit May Make You Happier

An adventurous spirit can lead to greater happiness by providing new experiences, positive emotions, personal growth, and social connections. Here are several ways that can happen:

    1. New experiences and challenges: An adventurous spirit involves seeking out new experiences and challenges. When we try new things, we push ourselves out of our comfort zones and learn more about ourselves and the world around us. These experiences can bring a sense of excitement and accomplishment, leading to greater happiness and fulfillment.
    2. Positive emotions: Adventurous activities can trigger positive emotions such as excitement, joy, and awe. These emotions can increase happiness and lead to a more positive outlook on life.
    3. Personal growth: Pursuing adventure and taking risks can lead to personal growth and development. As we overcome challenges and learn new skills, we gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment, leading to greater happiness and well-being.

Today’s Positive Thought ~ Ride Life’s Wonderful Adventure

The boat is safer anchored at the port; but that’s not the aim of boats (Paulo Coelho).”

If we’re looking for safety we may as well hide ourselves in a dark cave. It takes heaps of courage to set out and ride life’s adventure. We’ll surely face trials, but we’ll also have triumphs. Dare to set out. Dare to ride life’s wonderful adventure.

Think About It ~ Childlike Joy & Spontaneity

Recapturing childlike joy and spontaneity renews our zest for life. It awakens the creative and adventurous spirit within us. Turn loose your childlike joy and spontaneity and enjoy the moment.

What if I took a spontaneous weekend trip?

What if I took a spontaneous weekend trip, what would I experience? My guess is I’d rekindle a childlike sense of adventure. I’ll toss my stuff in my backpack. I’ll purposely forget to take my laptop. I’ll leave early and leave all my worries in rearview mirror. They’ll wait for me. Getting away is important. It refreshes the spirit and body. It relieves us of the stress we’ve become so used to carrying we don’t even notice it. One caution, you’ll come back feeling so good, you may want to make it a habit. LOL. 

Today’s Inspiration ~ Reawaken the Dreamer in You

“As a youngster I was a great dreamer, reading many books of adventure and walking lonely miles with my head in the clouds.”

~ Edmund Hillary

Today’s Power Thought ~ The Great Adventure

Our greatest adventures lie ahead of us. It is central to the whole process of living a full life. The more our adventure is tied to something greater than ourselves, the greater our adventure. 

Today’s Power Thought ~ Take a Chance

Trying to play it safe is an illusion. Every moment overflows with risk and adventure. Hiding from risks and adventure only finds one trapped in a risk of his/her own making. Take a chance, open the door, step out into the world and live the adventure knowing you can handle the risks.

Something to Think About

When my brother and I first learned to canoe it was a hilarious adventure. We’d go from one side of the river to the other side. A straight line was next to impossible. It was a good thing we both could swim seeing that we tipped the canoe more than a few times. Eventually we got it right and figured out how to paddle and not tip the canoe. When we’re not working in sync with each other, getting to where we want to go is difficult. When we argue over our perspectives and can’t find a compromise we tip our canoe. It works better when we figure out how to work together. We get to where we want to go much quicker and we don’t tip the canoe.
