The Fun and Adventure Pillar

The Fun and Adventure Pillar

The tenth pillar of the 10 pillars that I coach my clients on is the fun and adventure pillar

fun/fən: enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure
ad·ven·ture/adˈvenCHər: an unusual and exciting experience or activity

We were born with passion, curiosity, and a zeal for life! We want to explore, conquer, discover all that life has to offer. We dare to dream, face a challenge head on, and desire to go where no man has traveled. But there is so much to do, so many places to go and things to see. There is so much out there that some people do nothing but watch from the side lines as everyone else participates on the field. How can you engage yourself in the moment and not just be a spectator?

The answer is simply deciding to do something about it and making the first move. Wishing, wanting and waiting is not the same are wishing, wanting, and walking toward it. When you walk you always take the first step.

Thinking too much is also not the same as doing. To experience life and all life has to offer is to get out of your head and take a risk. Every sport and excursion had physical elements to it. Only when we get out of our heads and move into our hearts and hands can we be set free.

Take inventory

What kind of fun and adventure are you having?

What kind of new things do you try and new places do you explore?

Consider this

• What do you dare to do?
• What would be out of this world that you want to experience?
• Where do you want to travel too? What would you want to do there?
• What is something outrageous you want to do that would rock your world?
• How can you spice things up and shake things up?
• What kind of freedom are you living daily?

Take action

Take 15 minutes to list everything that you thought of. Write a list of all the things that you have always wanted to do and keep it as a running list that you cross off and add to. Begin a fun plan allocating a dollar amount to fund these trips and firsts as well as deciding dates and the details of making it happen. Each day is an adventure and life is too short to let it all pass you by. Have fun. Be adventurous.  

This completes the 10 pillars of a complete life transformation.
