I’ve had some amazing adventures this week.

One of the best powder days ever

Me after an awesome powder day at brighton!

It snowed probably (no joke) 30 inches on tuesday (april 14) night.  So for “uncle Sam’s day” to celebrate having paid and being done with taxes, I went and rode Brighton.  This was actually planned with a best friend of mine, one of the only people who has known me since I was 11, so it was pretty much an amazing day.

Climbing Suncrest today

Well as you can imagine, the cycling is going well, excpet for the days that it snows 2 feet.  I had some great riding on monday, then just as quickly as it began it was over.  SO, clouds cleared and I decided to go for it again.  It was gnarly windy, but I got a really good ride in, and learned just how much air can change things.

My Route Today: 15 miles or so

It is incredible how much I have to be grateful for, I just realized looking at my life and my week.  I have entrepreneurship to thank for a whole lot of it too.  I guess the point is that it doesn’t take that much to drastically improve the quality of your life, if you’ll find a few of your adventures and make the decision and take the plunge to start living them.

Every bit of work I did outside of these adventures was just better.  I just enjoyed life more as a result of working form this place.  So, my hope is that this can inspire to some degree and maybe by seeking more of the ideas and abilities I have found that make adventure-prenuership possible, more people can live out their adventures too.

Reach your potential: By Brian Tracy

So, after my ride I came back to training my mind and turned on a short video segment of Brian Tracy.  It was about reaching your potential, and it really made me stop and think.  I have heard it a million times before.  The fact is, we all have unlimited potential.  The way he said it was “you couldn’t use the potential you have in a hundred life times.”  This stuck in a big way.

Basically, we have to focus on learning to use what we have.  The realization both in life and in business I came to, and shared with a business partner of mine this week, was

The only thing I don’t have now is an excuse

And that is really true for all of us.  There really is nothing stopping our success but our excuses.  And, there comes a point when you just don’t have one anymore.  I am doing better and better, and I worry most about becoming complacent and slowing down.  I know that a large part of the fulfillment comes from growth.

Anyway, hope this reaches and helps or somehow inspires someone this week.

Live your adventures!
