Venturing

STJ 2012 293b

One may know an area very well, even have strong impressions and know the temper of a place. But that place may not always seem familiar and safe and you may feel uncomfortable venturing out at times. This may alter your feelings for that place and you may find yourself rarely, if ever, venturing out at all. On the other hand you may find that your cozy home provides too much comfort and you must get out and explore or become stir-crazy. When you do manage to emerge an adventure is just the thing to make home a good place to come back to. You may venture out into your familiar places or take a chance on someplace new and exciting. Whatever you choose you might feel a sense of anticipation and excitement at what you may find in your travels, long and short. It is important that you do not have specific expectations, even if you have specific plans, as those are more than likely to come to nothing, or very little. Venturing out should provide you with new sights, sounds, tastes, and touches and with new feelings and emotions about them. You could also go out with a specific purpose in mind, but don’t expect complete success, expect to find your undertaking to be an experiment more than anything else. If you feel apprehensive or uncomfortable, but not unsafe, it is a good idea to continue risk your comfort and allay your apprehensions by continuing with your plans. After all, how can you learn and expand your horizons without experimenting with adventure? You could poke a hole in whatever your apprehensions may be and crawl through the hole into an even more varied and interesting world. Besides, it’s fun to explode some of the less flattering theories you may have formed about yourself. Venturing out can be a real adventure and is more likely to be so the more positive you are about it. Does a venture into adventure tickle your fancy?
