Unreasonable," "unrealistic," and "impractical" are all words used to marginalize a person or idea that fails to conform with conventionally expected standards.

Whereever you are in life, however old you are, begin thinking about every day as the first day of your life.

Don't try to be fearless or pretend you aren't impacted by fear. Just try to prevent fear from making your decisions for you.

It's a lonely road for those of us who choose to be remarkable, and the path of convention can sometimes be appealing. That path is paved with safe lives, middle of the road monotony, and little chance of failure. But where's the fun in being like everyone else out there?

Let's embrace more of life, not less. Balanced people don't change the world, and I'd rather spend my time feeling worn out from meaningful activities and projects.

Why travel - because the world was meant to be experienced, not imagined.

Always revisit your decisions in the light of new knowledge and information. Don't be afraid to change.
