Our Deep Rooted Need for Adventure

It’s easy to fall into routine. We are, after all, creatures of comfort. Wake up, get ready for work, got to work, come home from work, relax on the couch with Netflix, lather, rinse, repeat. Perhaps there’s the occasional trip to the gym our outing with friends, maybe even a vacation thrown in every once in a while for good measure.

Somewhere along the way, however, we lost something. Somewhere along the way we dropped the sense of wonder that came from childhood dreams of grand adventures, adventures where we’re heroes on a quest, out to explore or out to save the day. These days we content ourselves to live vicariously through our social media feeds and travel blogs, rather than go out and have experiences of our own.

We’ve become a generation of consumers. Not consumers in the material sense that our parents were, as more and more of us are adopting minimalist lifestyles, but consumers of content. On-demand streaming services give us our fix whenever we want it, and ebooks have made the written word more accessible than ever. This is not a bad thing, but it’s time to do something better with it.

Rather than consume our content and let it haunt our dreams with adventures we can never hope to live through, it’s time to let that content inspire us! It’s time to make ourselves the heroes we watch, read about, and indeed dream about. It’s time to satisfy our deep rooted need for adventure. Let’s go out and make it happen!
