What is that part of yourself telling you?


Probably what we call the "sensible" self.

The part that notices that most people don't do crazy adventurous stuff any
more. It's so much safer, cheaper, and comfortable to stay home and watch
crazy people have their adventures on TV.

I can't attribute correctly, but I recall someone quoted as saying an
adventure was someone *else* suffering from their foolishness thousands of
miles from home - or something to that effect.


Twain's advice calls to my heart though!

it's hard to beat Twains advice

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

If you need an example of what can happen if you put off your dreams
to long ....just look at Nellie.

That's the only way anybody ever actually breaks loose, isn't it.


The perfect time will never come if you are waiting for it.
