Lately i have been reading because yes i don't go to school anymore so instead of reading textbooks like the past 4years i have moved
on to literature. Right now I am reading "Between a rock and a hard place". Its the book about the man( aron) who was hiking in moab and a boulder fell on his arm and in order to survive he cut his arm off. A film was produced about Aron's experience, its called 127(here for trailer) i have been looking forward to seeing this for about a month maybe more. But yes the reader inside me told me to read the book first. So here i am reading it. The following quote is from this amazing book. Aron is actually quoting a passage from another book, "Into the wild".

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. the joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have and endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and difference sun."
I have always had a love and passion for adventure especially for the outdoors...so to say the least this is a huge motivator for me!!! Be happy and live life!
