Are You A 'ROAD WARRIOR' Or A 'TRAFFIC CONE'?

 

Are You A 'ROAD WARRIOR' Or a 'TRAFFIC CONE'?  Admittedly, I was a 'ROAD WARRIOR' through and through the years, akin to living in my suitcase as I was constantly ready to take my next flight practically every week.  BUT those were outliers.  BUT that did bring me to a point of asking WHAT IF in life, should we be like a ROAD WARRIOR OR be like a TRAFFIC CONE?  Of course, it's a no-brainer, WHO wants to be a TRAFFIC CONE anyway?  BUT DON'T get flummoxed if I tell you that, statistically, there is a good number of folks WHO still prefer to be like TRAFFIC CONEs!@#$%?

A few times in the past, I was asked as regards the benefits of being constantly on the move versus being likened to a sedentary pace in life.  BUT if we think about it, to be adventurous, OR at least to keep moving, that means leaving our 'safe harbor' and to set sail into the unknown.  It's HOW we grow and get to know more about WHO we are.  And that's WHAT matters the most, more than any talking points related to even your immediate family and friends.  And we can take a lift from insights of backpackers💧💧💧    

Experience tells me that adventures in life, OR at the very least, that desire to keep moving, is one of those rare freedoms WHICH we can experience on a day to day basis.  LIKE the beauty of deciding to go on an adventurous trip, particularly one that involves an immersion in nature, is that you DON'T decide to go, you just do it!  Imagine slowing down with those natural sounds and rhythms of nature really helps us to find those precious moments of awareness, so crucial enough to allow us to make real choices💥💥💥

I have to admit though that, adventures per se, are NOT always comfortable experiences.  Let me assure you that what comes along with it is risk itself BUT at times, those episodes become our necessary experiences.  And here's the take from psychologists for us to consider adventures.  WHILE going solo is NOT that bad, adventuring with others, especially one's partner/spouse/loved ones is undoubtedly a great way to strengthen relationships💚💛💜

Our takeaway:  WHILE we have our own lives to live, think about it, we can be anything BUT a TRAFFIC CONE.  For the most obvious reasons, WHILE a TRAFFIC CONE serves its purpose, let's NOT fuss about it because we are NOT and should NOT ever exist as a TRAFFIC CONE because we can live our lives a thousand ways, way more meaningful rather than threading a pace that replicates a sedentary one.  WHILE a ROAD WARRIOR tag sounds extreme, we really DON'T need to the far end to be a ROAD WARRIOR even in a figurative way BUT at the very least, let us embark on steps meaningful enough in life [instead of getting stalled and stuck like a TRAFFIC CONE]😡😡😡
