Bruce Kirby Quote on How Adventure is Curiosity

“Adventure is curiosity, the willingness to embrace uncertainty, wondering about the possibility of doing just one thing differently than before.”

Bruce Kirby

Beyond the Quote (Day 367)

One beautiful thing about exploring is that it connects you to the present. For a few wonderful moments you forget about your problems and future concerns. Curiosity leads you. Intuition kicks in. You notice details and sounds and smells that might otherwise get overlooked and unheard and disregarded.

And one of the beautiful things about exploring is that you don’t have to be anywhere exotic or grand to do it. For, while the things around you might not change, the eyes with which you see, always do.

So, rather than go about your day—explore about your day. There are no boring things to interact with—only boring eyes to look with. Nothing should ever appear the same one moment to the next—unless, of course, you are staying exactly the same one moment to the next.

NEW In The Shop: Don’t Let The Tame Ones Tell You How To Live [Poster]

Why We ♥ It: Some of the best advice I (Matt here) ever got was: don’t take life advice from people who aren’t living a life you want to live and don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t go to for advice. I created this poster to act as a reminder to listen more closely to our role models and less closely to our critics, trolls, and tamed-comfort-zone-hugger acquaintances. It’s also a perfect gift for the outdoor adventurer, travel enthusiast, or solo explorer (or soon to be). Available in print or digital download. 👇🏼
