Daring to leave my comfort zone and learning about myself by getting to know something new. Expanding my horizons by walking beyond my own front door. Reading something I have not read, working with someone new. Learning new life lessons that I can carry with me where ever I go. These are things that make adventure worth while. This is what it means to become alive and get out of your shell. The world is not such a fearful place, once you learn to take a chance. While there are dangers in anything we do, discovery is one of the most wonderful parts of being alive.
