March 16, 2016 Chasing Adventure: Be Where You Are #53 Part 1
It's easy to ignore the things in our life that become normal or over time loose their original zeal. It's easy to dream our life away wishing we were somewhere other than where we are.

During this episode, I talk about going out with my friend Curious Gabe as we parked near the beach for thirty-minutes and chased adventure. It was simple. It was quick and it was just what we needed. There was no planning needed. There was no big story that surfaced. This type of excursion is available to each of us. What are we waiting for?

I've spent too much of my life holding back. I want to extend for the full length of fun, let's not hold back but go for it.
