Make Life an Adventure
“…make things happen and do things that fire you up and life is too short. What you don’t know is, How much life do you have? Right? You don’t know if you going to live till 80 or 104 or 30.”
-Andy Miller

I want this to be the story of my life and I am working towards making that happen. Carpe Diem, live every day to the fullest. This, of course, is not always possible in our crazy lifestyles. I know that time gets away from me. I get too involved in my day-to-day activities, and forget what I am working towards. It is easy to forget what my dreams and goals are.
That is why I love this idea of making life an adventure. This is also called a “Bucket List,” but just as Andy Miller discusses in this article, I like the top statement much better. To me, saying bucket list is a little depressing. Don’t think about how much time you don’t have, just live your life, but do things that make you happy and make life an adventure. Whether those adventures are big or small, live life to the fullest.
PLAY it Forward has played a huge part in making this a reality for me. It has helped me to combine two of my passions – traveling to explore the world and helping people to make a difference. Even when I am not traveling, I know that I am working for an organization that is making a difference and it helps me to know my goals are within reach. I have learned a lot about myself through my travels and plan to continue learning.
My favorite quote and one that I try to live by goes along perfectly with this – “Shoot for the moon. Even if you fall short, you will land among the stars.” Dream big and don’t let everyday chaos get in the way of you achieving what you want out of life.
