“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do
things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or
been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy
circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their
situation because they are conditioned to a life of security,
conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one
peace of mind, but in
reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a
man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living
spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes
from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no
greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each
day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of
life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and
adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to
you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you
will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” ―
