Life IS An Adventure

Can you take the leap?

This year, in 2014, I have set several goals for myself. 

Some seem so unattainable yet, my mind is fixated on them. In my heart, God has placed such a passion for life. Does that sound generic or cliche'? From getting a fitness sponsorship to landing a lead role in a feature film, I will achieve and surpass each and every goal set. 

What stops us from dreaming and striving to live in that dream? When do adults quit daydreaming and just... go through the motions? Have you given up on your aspirations due to people's opinions, your fears, or any other barrier? Why?

Is it worth the unsettled feeling in the pit of your stomach every day while sitting at the computer typing up a spreadsheet, doing a job you hate? Is it worth the longing you feel in your spirit every time you watch a Vine video, a Yahoo featured story, and so on.. of someone who did something. 

Want to know what makes my heart eager and full of longing? This video: 

Why you ask? Because not only am I a Christian and the mission field is where my heart is... but I LOVE foreign travel, learning new cultures, being in the moment of something so surreal and out of my element. Even as I write this post (and am once again listening to the music from the above video), my adrenaline is pumping, heart is beating, and my limbs are almost unsettled for lack of not DOING something with my life. 

Gosh, I think I just motivated myself into moving blocks into place to start something. An new adventure? A new life, job, dream? I will delve further into this but the point of this post is to motivate my amazing readers and any new faces that come across my blog. 

Do not be the dreamer your whole life, sitting idle, living precariously through a friend, a respected influence. Stop putting your aspirations aside aside! There are too many success stories of people just quitting and going after it. 

What is it to you? 

Make a list of all of your passions, aspirations, hopes, and dreams...

Then ... 

Go and do.
