Mary Oliver once said, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - an excerpt from her beautiful poem, The Summer Day. I love everything about these words and this question. Life is 100% what you make of it and you are 100% responsible for the experience of your existence. Live an intentional life making conscious decisions about who you want to be and how you want to live; behaving accordingly. The words from her poem should inspire you to not only live outside of your comfort zone, but to allow curiosity and passion to lead your life.
To look back on a life full of overcome fears, awkward moments, tears of joy, exhilarating triumphs, and milestone accomplishments, you will have lived every day to the fullest potential. Put yourself out there, take risks, and allow yourself to genuinely feel. Every single experience in your life, positive or negative, synergistically completes you. Without any of it, even the negative, your journey would be nothing more than monochromatic and shallow. Live an adventurous and inquisitive life so full of ambition that simply reminiscing will bring sparkle to your eyes, a smile to your face, and satisfied warmth to your heart.
