We all have an idea of what reality looks like and we all have an idea of what we expect reality to look like and real life reality is exactly that – seeing and understanding how it is and what it looks like in the flesh. Whether or not it meets expectations, real life reality is what it is. 

You would be lying if you said you have never had these ideas of how you have foreseen things to be, yet they have come out either completely south of what you had in mind or maybe they have surprised you even further. Regardless, your expectation of a reality based on what you know – was not real life reality. 

The whole point to this is to understand that things change, things don’t change and things will variety to how we perceive them or want them to be. We need to adapt and go with that, We don’t have to agree with it, we don’t even have to like it. But you have to go with it and make your way through whatever way possible. 

Don’t forget, what you see as a reality, will be completely different for someone standing right next to you. But the reality of real life will never change.

Adventure is right where you make it. Here, there and everywhere. There is no limit, there is no end. It is never the same for anyone and it can be from all ends of the spectrum. The real question you need to ask about ADVENTURE is…

What is yours?

Yesterday is done. Today is here and tomorrow is coming and of course so much more beyond it. So what does your adventure look like? Where will you go? It is here now and it is waiting for you. Don’t wait for something to find you – take what you have now and make it to what it can be. 

Adventure is simply unusual and exciting at the same time. Something different but something accelerating. 

Can you do one thing a day to make up adventure?

Day in and day out we live. What that looks like is different for everyone. The key, however, is to continue to just progress. I am one for routine and schedule, but I understand how this can create a continuous cycle which is quick to bore. This is why it is so important you are working towards daily progression Growth! As I like to say. 

Progress is simply moving forward in whatever your task may be. It can be big, small or in between. As long as you’re moving forward then you have nothing to worry about. 

“Even if you fall on your face you’re still moving forward.” ~ Victor Kiam

I know we would all like perfection and to complete our tasks with flying colours, but it just is not possible. You should be working towards (and be content with) progress over perfection. 

Go now and continue to progress.

Knowledge is power. But it is also the new currency. The value it can create and resemble is similar to a successful investment and interest. The more you accumulate, the more you can compound and the more you can compound the deeper and richer it will become. The more wisdom, information, knowledge, and content you can consume and absorb, gives you the opportunity to catapult yourself into growth.  Had I had known what I know today only 5 or 10 years ago – potentially I could be 5 years ahead of where I am today… potentially. 

The point is; knowledge comes from what we do every day and the things we learn. Everyday challenge yourself, equip yourself and prepare yourself for more. Opportunity is always knocking and experience is always ready to be collected. You are the vessel to consume such things. So do it.

The best thing you can do and the one thing you should be doing more of is ‘thinking’. Do this before you go ahead and rush into whatever it is you are doing. Surprisingly and sadly enough, it is what we as a society fail to do on such a regular basis.

We are hasty to have information, answers and results to be handed to us in a wrapped up and ‘keep it simple, stupid’ kind of way. We forget to take the time to understand the wider context or the more pressing details. This especially occurs when we are looking for answers on how to build/create or assemble something, yet are too lazy to spend 5 minutes reading the instructions. If we are to just read these in the first place, we would essentially save massive time wasted trying to figure it all out. 

I understand we are all busy and want things now. But when we slow down, smell the roses and understand the moment in time, then clarity will enable us to rush as we can then take what we have learned and apply it, compared to trying to work it out and continuing to waste time and fail.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

There are two types of ‘doing’. One is done and two is above and beyond. Are you being proactive?

Being proactive requires you to think beyond yourself and beyond the simplicity of your task. It is to think further and potentially complete whatever you are doing with an extra dose of whatever it may be to make it stand out, to make it appeal and to make even more valuable. In most instances, you are required to project your thinking of the person the task is to be delivered to. Taking a perceptual lens and understanding how they may want something to be, look, feel and ultimately be the finishing result. 

The cool part is, we can be doing this for ourselves. We can either rush, rush, rush through life, through the everyday things we are doing or working towards. Or, we can invest the time, take the time and think deeper and further of how we can be smarter in growing ourselves, learning skills and delivering results. 

Examples can be:

• output & throughput at the gym
• cleaning and containing a minimalist lifestyle 
• prepping and maintaining a veggie garden
• the 80/20 rule
• meal prepping
• bulk tasking
• planning & event scheduling
• routines (like a creature of habit)

Are you being proactive?

There seems to be an unstated expectation that in order to make a difference or to make an impact; little won’t cut it. Well, I am here to tell you that a little is enough.

I am super keen to challenge myself in order to grow the areas in my life I am working on. At the same time as I do this, I am having to push a little harder, hustle a little longer and so on and so forth. The key here is progress over perfection. As we grow and develop our skills and how expected best, this can only be done at a single step at a time. There is no quick way to be “THE BEST” but simply and only through time and effort. The more you put in to grow and learn more, the sooner you will be. 

My takings on this are you should work on lots of minimal gains, lots of little changes here and there as these are easier to do than to MAKE big changes. A perfect example is my pursuit to increase my PB running times. Each time I run I have the intent and drive to beat it a little more. However, sometimes this does not happen and I have also realized that I need to change other areas such as Exercises, training styles, mobility, strength, stride and other areas before I can continually and constantly grow my PB. 

Know that a little is enough and know that it takes time. Just be willing to do and take the time for the result you want.

Ever get the feeling that the day doesn’t matter. Well, you’re wrong. Every day matters and it all comes down to how to make the most of the day. We all have bad days, I understand that. We all also have GREAT days. Regardless it ultimately comes back to you and how you take action and take control of the day. 

“Man is a success when he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night. And in between, does what he wants.” – Bob Dylan

If you struggle to identify how your day matters you can try the following:

Ask yourself this question, chances are you’ll know the answer intuitively.

Did today matter? If so, great. Do more things like it tomorrow. Can’t remember anything in particular that made a difference? Well, better change it up.

It is that simple!

The challenge of taking things slow and steady is all in relation to a restful mind. With such a rush, rush society we become victims of our own business, structure or determination to conquer. As much as we should be striving to hustle our way to our dreams and to Go, Go, Go! We also need to understand the benefits of knowing when we need to slow down and take it steady. Slow down and breathe. 

Whether you’re a sports & exercise fanatic or maybe you’re working the grind more than anyone else. Understanding and applying some rest time, some recovery time, some slow and steady time” will be the best thing for not only your mind but your body. 

I challenge you to learn to rest and do it contently knowing it will benefit you.
