Living intentionally is something that a lot of people attempt to do, but they sometimes get so caught up in the details and the world around them that they get lost somewhere along the way. I believe we all get lost time to time. But if we really want to live intentionally, we have to figure out how to live a life that is not detached from adventure and with adventure, we risk going off on the wrong trails. That’s OK. We have to keep pushing forward, never looking back, finding new passions along the way.

These are the quotes that have helped me move forward, encouraging me to seek excitement without fear of getting lost.
