I once read a quote that said, “Bad decisions make great stories.”
The RESULTS of “bad” decisions can be PRICELESS teachers, offering us information, data, and feedback on how to do things differently next time.
Well, we can also choose good decisions. Doing something new is adventurous. It’s scary, exciting, difficult, and sometimes ALSO makes for a great story. Going a new route home after work, doing something or going somewhere we have never done or gone before, or even speaking to or saying hello to a stranger, can be just the adventure we need, to get us started down the road of adventures!
Reminder to self: Be smart, and be safe, but make sure to have an adventure today! The key is to make a decision and take action. Just do it! When something scares us a little, we can face it, lean into it, experience it, and become more adventurous, or we can shrink in fear, retract from possibilities, and choose the same results we have always gotten-but I think it is important to remember Einstein’s definition of insanity:
INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER WHILE EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT.
Today’s challenge for myself: Today I will do something adventurous.
DO SOMETHING HARD TODAY! DO SOMETHING THAT SCARES YOU TODAY, OR CAUSES YOU TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE.

Remember: Mindset matters. Character counts. That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives. WE CREATE our personal realities.
