The quote itself is just as inspiring. You only grow from taking risks.

When we help others and ourselves, how can we not feel that we have a life fulfilled. And a fulfilling life is one where we've taken some chance and dared a bit. I know you will do well... @Tammy - Hey, better late than never! And I understand about catch up mode (kids, they get in the way sometimes don't they...). I don't find your statement selfish at all. To have a time in your life that is inspirational is good. It can be a reminder of where you really came alive... No money and no pictures. I, too, remember days like that. It's good to have a little of both... @Stacey – …help myself and others — Stacey, that is it! When we help others and ourselves, how can we not feel that we have a life fulfilled.

I am here....I seem to have been in a catch up mode of operation last week. I am doing my best to make my rounds and read my favorite blogs. You know, I did try a great deal 20 years ago. I was just thinking today I wish I had that "power of the challenge and thrill" that I had back then. I use 20 years ago as my inspirational time in my life. Would I change anything...I guess I would probably take more pictures of those times. That might seem like a selfish statement but it is true. I was truly a happy person. I was broke and no pictures to show for it. As the memory fades...I wish I had them. This was a great post. I have spent most of my time reading the comments. You have a wonderful group of readers. <abbr><em>Tammy Warrens last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ADayToShareWithTammy/~3/408317589/dear-mitchell-w.html" rel="nofollow">My "wound" heart</a></em></abbr> Leave it up to me to show up at the end of the comment section.

For many of us. For me, it comes down to the "doing". Once I start doing something, it seems less scary. I know it's easy to say that, and not always easy to do it, also. Try to find ways to make small steps toward where you want to get... @Meleah - It is profound, especially if you really think about what is being said... @Ellen - I really like the picture too, but you're looking at it from a much more technical standpoint than I do! And that's pretty cool - looking at how a picture was taken. Kids...they change things in our lives. Having three of them, I know. Sounds like your daughter is turning out to be an adventurer too! @Robin - Thank you! @Sarah – Fear is a big one that can hold us back from really achieving what we desire. For many of us.

It looks like it was taken with a red filter and everthing is in good proportion. And you know as a photographer that makes me happy. I also like Mark Twain. He's a Sagittarian like myself and I know he was adventurous. I adhere to this kind of philosophy, the only problem being is that sometimes I can't get away as much as I'd like with having an 9 yr old daughter. It's a good thing she likes to travel! <abbr><em>Ellen Wilsons last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wilsonswordsandpictures/oiRe/~3/409758062/" rel="nofollow">Happy Pigs Play in the Mud</a></em></abbr> Hi Lance,

What an excellent idea for living the life we want! @Suzie - Yes, take a nap!! You want to be well-rested when you head out into these uncharted waters of life - you adventures await... @Sagan - I loved the photo too, really makes me feel like this quote is coming to life... @Jennifer - We've all done things that we would probably do different, were we to do them again (I have, anyway). I guess that's part of life. You're doing awesome stuff now, and that's what counts! Continue to be and do what makes YOU happy, and brings you fulfillment in your life! @Chris - Courage...yes, that can be the kicker. How do we overcome that one? I think it comes from "doing". Whatever it is, sometimes all we need to do is start, in order to get us heading the way we desire. @Mark – I like the idea of visualizing — looking to where we want to get to.
