Reclaiming Childhood Joy and Adventure

Many adults have lost touch with the passions and joys they once experienced, becoming overly focused on responsibilities and routines. Activities that once brought excitement—such as mountain biking, traveling, or writing poetry—often fall by the wayside as life becomes busier and more complex. To revive enthusiasm, individuals are encouraged to reassess what activities once brought them joy and to reincorporate those experiences into their lives. This return to playfulness and adventure is essential for rediscovering happiness and fulfillment.

Reclaiming Adventure and Joy in Adulthood

6min

We were all artists before the world taught us to be adults.

Never lose the sparkle in your eyes and your sense of wonder about the things most people take for granted.
But…

…you can’t get there by following the crowd and seeking likes, playing with your “smart” phone and being a cyber zombie coasting through life chasing trivial things.

No. You must live YOUR life. Break free of mental limits and societal dogma.
You need to be a kid again. Curious and brave and foolish and fully alive. Willing to laugh and fail and fall flat on your face.

This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
