Success is rare which can be discouraging. While failure appears frequently before baring the fruit of dreams, it should be considered the best educational tool helping strengthen character and values for future plans. Developing a plan is important but what needs to be calculated ahead of time is the potential of what could be lost when failure happens. This is not meant to be a deterrent, but merely a reminder to prioritize values, because in the end it could be costly. What is worse then failure is ignoring the calling on your heart and living with the ghosts of what could have been. Besides every adventure produces a story that is authentic to whoever is bold enough to try. Chris Leidal and Rhys Seven reflect on their unique past as friends, their passion for adventure, and courage to keep trying.
