What does it mean to live bold? Well, for me, that means stepping outside the box...defying the status quo...taking the road less traveled. Although saying you want to do something and actually being able to do it are two different things.
Let's face it. It is so much easier to follow the norm of society. To graduate high school in the top 10 percent of your class, to attend a university, graduate and get a job in your field. Get married. Have kids. Save money. You get the idea. And I'll be honest, this is exactly the path I have been following. I graduated in the top of my class, went to college and am now working as a paralegal. I am getting married in two months and I'm sure we will buy a house next year after our lease is up. So, in some aspects, I totally follow the status quo. I also like to live bold now and then.
I've been skydiving.
I've gone bungee jumping.
I've traveled here and there...and want to keep on traveling.
I've had my joyous moments but I can say with certainty that it's not good enough. I want more adventure, more experiences, more EVERYTHING.
So I say we all get out there and live bold. Do something exciting at least once a week. Live life to the fullest and have no regrets.
After all, most people only regret the things they never tried in life.
