Into The Wild
Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.

 First of all, you don't need money to change small things about your life. And in doing so, you can experience small changes in your life. If you live with a defeatist attitude you won't get very far.

 There is beauty all around us. Perhaps we don't see it. We have been so conditioned to ignore the obvious. Knowing that we start a each day, a new day, with a reverent look for nature's bounty. It is a passionate endeavor.

 This is such a wonderful mindset to have.
