Episode notes
Adventure Is Often Just Next Door
- Adventure needn't be exotic; simple acts near home produce meaningful change.
- Micro-adventures expose everyday joys we forget while waiting for big trips.
Internal Measures Trump External Success
- Measure success internally by matching your own values rather than external comparisons.
- Adventures are a testing ground that humbles ego and reveals authentic capability.
Start With Micro-Adventures
- Do squeeze short local micro-adventures into your life instead of waiting for big trips.
- Do prioritize small action now because tiny adventures beat none and build momentum.
