We are creatures of habit us humans

Staying safe there in our comfort zones

 

Naturally, there will be exceptions

To this unwritten rule

Going off the roadmap most of us follow

Gung-ho types charging forth into life

Into any new situation full of bravado

Fearlessly shaking the tree of wisdom

Extracting every last gram of excitement

From this adventure we all signed up for

 

At this point you might be thinking you have some way to go before matching these adventure-seeking fellow humans…

 

But you know what?

You don’t have to!

 

You don’t have to go and scale mountains

Or cross oceans in a rowing boat to feel alive

Simply being the best version of who you are is all that matters…

 

Sometimes the smallest steps forward can feel like a mountain conquered

And yet when you take that first step

Then another towards long dreamt of goals You are conquering your very own mountain Crossing that ocean on your terms at last

 

Climbing without ropes, without safety net

Feel that fear, beginning anyway, no sweat

Sometimes reaching the peak, taking in it all

Other times a little careless, then comes a fall

Landing with a thud and next feeling pain

Needing to experience both the sun and rain

It could be wisely said without life’s spills

We wouldn’t be equipped to enjoy the thrills
