For many of us, when we were younger, a sense of adventure came naturally.
When we’re just starting out in the world, it can seem like there are endless possibilities open to us. In our 20s, it can seem like there are many potential grand adventures out there, just waiting for us to find them.
As we get older, we make life choices. Those choices put us on a path and our commitment to that path naturally closes off some options.
After a while, we get familiar with our path and the choices that we’ve made, and we know how to manage and walk that path. And while the mastery and wisdom that come along with that are immensely satisfying, it can be easy to lose our sense of adventure.
But the good news is, there are plenty of ways to reignite our sense of adventure—even if you’ve built a life you adore and don’t want to make any radical changes.
There’s no real reason why adventure has to be associated with youth. Some of the most intrepid adventurers I know are in their eighties!
