The Adventure Begins

If someone were to ask you to describe yourself, would adventurous be a word that you would use?  

Why not? 

You are on an adventure.  It's called life.  And it is the greatest adventure anyone can imagine.  

"Every morning when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live.  What a precious gift!"
Thich Nhat Hanh

I recently came across a really awesome list.  

How To Be an Explorer of the World 

1. Always be looking.  Notice the ground beneath your feet.  

God gave us a big world.  He took a great care in creating everything both big and small.  Take the time to see it.  

2. Everything is interesting.  Look closer.

Our world is full of interesting things.  Once you begin to to see things - look closer!  Everything plays such a critical role and has such specific characteristics.  The Lord took care of each of his creations. 

3. Alter Your Course.  

Do you remember what you thought you wanted to be when you were little?  Did you have a dream to fly to the moon?  Become a teacher?  Be an actor?  What happened?  Did you pursue another passion?  Did your dream change?  

Many times we have plans in our life.  We have a path that we plan to take and a direction we plan to go.  But often, plans change.  Things happen and unforseen circumstances occur.  

But just because your route may be altered, doesn't mean you can't bring it back on track.  

Remember, God has a plan for you.  Sometimes the plan God has for us isn't even something that we are aware of - yet!  If you find yourself veering from your course, remember to take a close look and ask yourself, are you on a path for you or for God?  When you are on a path for God, he will help to keep you on track!

4. Observe.

We can learn something from everyone.  Everyone has something to offer you and you have something to offer them in return.  Don't forget to observe throughout your life and teach others you come into contact with.  The best way to teach is not always with words, but be the example for others to follow.  Show them what you know and teach them how.

Give a man a fish and he has dinner.  Show a man how to fish and ...
