Recently I took some time to myself.
A quick getaway.
A solo trip.
I took a plane. I rode a train. I drove a car. I maneuvered an electric scooter. I used a new camera to snap some scenery pictures. I visited some new areas. I scoped out restaurants. I stayed at 3 different places each with unique accommodations.
My adventure was full of new experiences and memories. I had moments to reflect. I had time to read. I slept well without life's distractions. It was a peaceful break from the chaos and mundane tasks of everyday life.
My time away made me appreciate what I have now while allowing me to drift into the mindset of what's next for me. What's on the horizon. What changes can and/or should I make? Oh how I love the curiosity around each corner of life. My road below was to somewhere? Or was it nowhere? Was it planned? Could it have been an accidental detour? I saw the beauty of the open road that day. Just me and the wide open spaces. This is the perfect vision for me. A blank canvas on earth. Where to explore. What to do. So much adventure just beyond….
Growth always happens whenever you step outside your comfort zone. Home is a comfort zone for many. It is for me. Leaving home opens up your mind and broadens your horizon. Traveling to another country and immersing in the culture is a form of growth. Traveling solo and navigating new areas is growth. Trying a new activity like photography is growth.
Stepping out for coffee can also foster creativity and growth. Observing others. Maybe interacting with new faces. Meeting a friend to catch up on life while enjoying the warmth of a cup of joe. Visiting a coffee shop in a new area may peak your interest too. Stepping out of your normal. Getting off the hamster wheel of life to try something new: it's so important!
With each opportunity to grow in front of you, the depth of your growth coincides with your ability to take a chance and embrace what is hidden around the corner. The so called surprises in life. If you are able to dive deep into these growth stages I do believe you will
See rewards for your efforts. If you sit and watch or wait for the perfect time life may just pass you by.
Fortune favors the bold.
Have you been bold lately?
If you wanted to make a bold action today, what would it be?
I live boldly.
I take chances.
I risk the immediate gain for the long term rewards. Life is what you make of it.
Go make your life great!
