2. It's pretty good when you have one of
those days where all kinds of cool and
unexpected things happen.

3. You leave the house maybe on a Friday
night, thinking you'll hang out with
your friends.

4. Then you meet some interesting
people who invite you to a party.

5. Then at the party you meet other
people and go somewhere else.

6. Kind of like being in some kind of
magical "activity stream" where things
just keep happening.

7. Other times it can be pretty boring.

8. Once I was dating this girl, and we had
fallen into a rut when we'd go out.

9. She started to accurately predict all
the places I'd take her.

10. Part of the human experience is to let
your "explorer" out once in a while.

11. Sure, playing it safe is just as valuable.

12. Too much of either can get you into
trouble.

13. Play it too safe, and life passes you buy
without you really noticing.

14. Become too much of an explorer, and
you might get stuck on an island or
end up at the bottom of the ocean.

15. A good way to change things up is to
plan spontaneity.

16. Meaning at least once a week,
schedule a few hours to yourself, and
specifically NOT make any plans.

17. Just go out, and go to places you've
never been before.

18. Talk to people you wouldn't normally
talk to.

19. The secret of living a fulfilling life is a
combination of having a solid plan,
AND being able to change gears when
an opportunity shows up.

20. Those that start their own businesses,
for example, (and do well) are the folks
who have a general idea of what they
want, but don't hesitate when the
market goes in a different direction.

21. Work is another example. You might
start out with one type of job, and end
up doing something completely
different.

22. Something that gets you far more
money, and far more recognition of
your true skills.

23. But this WON'T happen if you are too
"risk averse."

24. You've got to take SOME chances.

25. You'll never make your mark on the
world by playing it safe.

26. Think of it this way. For every inventor,
or artist, or musician or explorer that
did something amazing, there's
millions, even billions of people who
are glad they did.

27. Which means when YOU fully express
your true calling, you'll actually be
helping millions, if not billions of
people.

28. By playing it safe, you're letting them
down.

29. The world is waiting.
