"Where is it that your courage ends and fear begins.... " - Robert Hunter
Find that line and live on that edge, forcing yourself out of those "comfort zones" that are created by habitual patterns.
My courage ends and fears begins when I think about creating something completely different for my life. Moving away from my family. Moving away from this "great life" (as viewed by outsiders) I have here in Vancouver. But living a "great life" isn't about living a picture perfect life with a pretty house, a great job, a daily routine surrounded by good looking people... It is about sharing experiences and constantly pushing the boundary of what you think you can do. It is about leaving the world a better place than when you arrived. It is about taking risks while not knowing what the exact outcome will be.... That is a life worth living.
The above quote comes from Robert Hunter who was one of the founders of Greenpeace and that's exactly what he did. He created something bigger than himself, something to contribute to the world in a positive manner. It wasn't always a smooth road but he had a dream, desire and a goal and he went for it! Extremely admirable.
As I meander through life there are things I want to experience and to make these experiences happen I have to have the guts to follow through on my words with actions. It's pretty easy to keep telling myself oh I'll do that later, but one day later won't be here. So on the advice from Mumford and Sons I'm going to "collect [my] courage and collect [my] horse and take off into the sunset where there is no remorse.
