You've heard the saying, "Nothing good comes easy." This is true in life and couldn't be more true regarding great adventures and great plans. Whether you are training for your first 5K or your first 100 mile ultra run, the commitment, dedication and focus is the same... and it takes time and lots of patience.
The bigger the reward, the more effort and self-sacrifice. In today's society we want everything NOW. Immediate gratification is the way of the world. But at Adventure Woman we know if it's so easy that everyone can do it instantly then it's probably not very meaningful or gratifying. Give us a REAL challenge that will test our limits and push our boundaries. Yes? At Adventure Woman we DREAM TO DARE!!
We have four new REAL Adventure Woman who embrace passion, perseverance and patience. Roz Savage left a high profile career for an even more high profile life of adventure as a world-class rower. Julie Conover gave up her career for her passion for traveling and created her own television show, Passport to Adventure, which she also hosts. Caitlin Boyle started a campaign of kindness that is sweeping the world, and Georgie White became a pioneer of the Grand Canyon with her electric personality and dare-devil explorations.
Other amazing women we are proud to feature include; Tara Andvik who switched from a military career to become a mother and serious archer,and Diane Michelin who successfully combined her love of art with the beauty of fly fishing. Breezy McNamara and MJ MacDougall spent months planning for their independent trek around India, and the painstaking pre-trip reading and research is evident in the excitement and diversity of their trip.
All of these women are uniquely extraordinary. But the one thing they have in common is that they have spent months, years, and decades in preparation for tackling and achieving their dreams and goals. Make a plan and go for it!
I've made a plan to trek to Mt. Everest Basecamp and climb Island Peak. It is still 18 months (Spring 2011) away but I'll need every day to train and prepare for it. The very idea of having an adventure to pursue is thrilling.
What's your next adventure? Take the first step today and before you know it you'll be there (life goes fast). And remember the true "adventure" is not in the destination... but always in the journey!
