Maybe one of the most inspiring quotes ever!!! Personally, my favorite one. Since the first time i read it, i felt so inspired, motivated and relieving in many ways. In my opinion, this quote invites you to live your life more relaxed, with less pressure and becoming you the owner of your life. Like writing a novel, choosing the locations, characters, as the quote says, your adventure.
When we start paying attention to these types of quotes we usually are already an adult, so we have less time to put them in to practice, but as older we get, the more we understand the meaning of this idea.
How to make your life an adventure? What a hard question, i think that it has plenty of answers, but with the same base, being yourself. As i mentioned before, in order to chose the characters, locations, etc, you must be yourself. To have an adventure, is a process, maybe of a lifetime, it depend on when you understand and comprehend its meaning. First thing you need to start this adventure, is to find out what activity, career, subject, art, sport, anything that brings you joy and curiosity, anything that brings you happiness and fullness. Secondly, be surrounded by people who push you up to reach your goals and that you can feel at ease. This is very important in order to have where to rely on, where to feel comfortable, where you can find a feedback. Of course, this should be from both sides. Thirdly, maybe the most difficult, many people, including your family, closest friends, might try to stop you, thinking that you are getting into trouble, they would be afraid, desperate, and probably would try to convince you that you have to follow the stereotypical life. People can't stand that you know for what to fight for, that you would give it all for reaching all your goals, and that you are not afraid of nothing. So probably you would have to listen their advise, respect them, but never give up, just you have all the weapons to win this "battle". This people will start understanding you and respecting your decisions once you start this adventure and realize that you are still alive and satisfied. Lately you would become their "teacher". You will understand that they tried to stopped you because they fear for you, but inside themselves they always wished to discover this and create their own adventure, but because of their fears or what others would think about them, they chose not to risk and follow the short "efficient" road. This doesn't make us heroes and make the other villains, we are not smarter, we just chose to live our life how it is meant to be. Do we risk a lot? that's for sure, we can fail too, but we can stand up and start all over again. If we really got the meaning of this quote, we have the responsibility to inspire others, to cheer them up to wake up. It's never too late, is a matter of will. We also have the responsibility of not to judge others, not to bother or try to convince them that we have the truth, this is our own business.
Finally, this is more or less how i interpret this wonderful quote, of course, is just a short summery. Despite the toughness of life, despite all the problems we can have, i think we at least, try to live the life as an adventure, and this go deeper than what happens around you, the economy of your country, poverty, or social status, its a way of living. And becoming an adventurer, means you got the meaning of why you were chosen to come to this world. Have a good time!!!
