ALWAYS BEING OPEN TO LEARNING NEW THINGS. The more we learn, more we seek to learn. The world opens up when we are learning. Curiosity that leads to new learning awakens passion in your life.

ACCEPTING THE MOUNTAIN AND THE CHALLENGE as an opportunity for positive change. Stretching yourself out of comfort zone mentally and physically makes comfort zone that much larger and allows you to stretch even more. The world outside comfort zone is a world of immense possibilities that opens little by little as you challenge your personal boundaries.

THINKING LIKE A CHILD. The adventure attitude is about looking at life much like a child looks at it. As a child reaches for something he wants, he is excited and positive; rarely discouraged by defeat. He is flexible enough to change focus and sees possibilities in every direction. His options are open. He isn’t afraid to make mistakes or concerned about pleasing someone else. The fire in his eyes and energy in his step tell it all. Life is a fun game, and anything in his path can become part of it.

HAVING FAITH that you will get support that you need when you need it. AND YOU WILL…. From friends, family, and God. All you have to do is trust, let go of control, and ask for help when you need it.

THE RESULT OF LIVING WITH THE ADVENTURE ATTITUDE IS PERSONAL BALANCE, JOY, AND A LIFE OF POSSIBILITY.

WHIRLPOOLS form when rushing water hits an obstruction. The water turns around and around, in a swirling motion…. Spinning and out of control. In our lives, whirlpools churn us around, suck us in and spit us out. The secret to surviving whirlpools is to relax, let go, and realize we are not in control of many things. Even though we think we will sink at time and never be able to come up for air, we will eventually pop up, just as a leaf that is sucked into whirlpool will pop up.

Reaching calm POOLS is reward. For us, pools bring those moments of calm and reflection. This is place for learning and recuperation…. taking a deep breath…. And then moving on.

At EDDIES, water actually turns around and flows upstream along bank, and then turns around to join downstream flow. For us, eddy is place for reflection; Looking at what is past, learning from it, and moving on.

In end, river, which is now bulging with life, energy, and fullness, joins sea, contributing all it has gathered along way. Just like us: we flow, adjust, grow, and bring what we have to something bigger.
