Why is adventure so important?

Why is adventure so important? I absolutely love this TED talk by Tyler Tervooren about the benefits of adventure. He tells a funny story about how he believes adventure makes us smarter. By exposing ourselves to new cultures and new environments we give our brains new tools to solve problems with.

Adventure also makes you emotionally stronger, and stops you worrying about what other people think of you. Taking a step out of our comfort zone allows us to grow, and what started out feeling new and uncomfortable very quickly becomes routine.

Appealing to our big dream influence is important, because once we notice something, we quickly become interested and want to be a part of it. Most people’s biggest goal in life may only be meaningful to them, but if you require a team to help you, then use big dream influence to get people’s attention. Adventure is attractive to people.

Challenge yourself to answer the call to adventure. People’s biggest regrets tend to be that they didn’t live a life true to themselves. They didn’t step out of their comfort zone and answer the call to adventure when it presents itself.

To follow our big ideas, we need to take a step closer to them. Tell yourself that it is important to you. It is the first step to achieving your dreams!

Project 365

I set up this website after deciding that I want to build a more creative life for myself, so I can give up my job and be in control of my own destiny.

I have set myself a goal of publishing an article on my website every day this year, to document my journey from employment to self-employment.

The name I chose was Project 365 because I see this as a year that I have dedicated to learning and self-development, as I countdown to freedom. It started on 1st January 2021, so I have 275 days to go!
