Make Some Wrong Decisions

This is an adventure. Nothing exciting comes from the safe, the sure, the done before and well groomed path left to follow. Branch out. Break the fence and rush the untamed possibilites with your torch held firmly in front to light your way.

Why make the safe choice? When in life, the risks appear, see them for the potential rewards that chasing them can bring. The horizon speaks to those who will shoulder their packs and forge on for it, leaving behind the safety of the camps that have already been made. Let the hum of the adventurous spirit drown out the cries of "Remain! Remain! Do not leave the safety of the fire and the camp!" If no one will chase the horizon, who will find the new lands, the new people, the new worlds for those in the camp to follow upon, when their camp is flooded and their game all chased off?

Cultivate those hearts that yearn to do that which has not been done. Cultivate those spirits that will not sit by, apathetic to the desires of their feet to move. Cultivate the eyes that see beyond the safety of the city's walls to the mysteries of the horizons beyond. Cultivate those voices that lift up and encourage the marginalized to push boundaries beyond the limits that have been painted before them.

For who will if we will not?
