Longing for an Adventure
English essay
I long for adventure
People go through life sticking to what they have come to know. People find themselves going through their days not experiencing the full adventure life has to offer.
The unknown generally has one of two influences on peoples mind, either it strikes fear into their hearts or it irrevocably draws them towards adventure. The majority of humans reach the end of their life and they are disappointed with what they have achieved.
Life is amazing but not always easy. We are guaranteed to encounter problems, and the challenge in life lies in facing them with courage, letting the beauty of life be a celebration. There is no human being on earth, strong, powerful, wise or rich, who has not experienced, struggle, suffering or failure. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing”, so we need to cease the moment to ensure we live without regret
Recently I have found out that the doctor told my father that he does not have long to live. I was shocked and distraught to find out that he was not sad that his time was limited, but rather he was heartbroken because he believed he had not achieved everything he wanted to do.
When contemplating what my father’s thoughts were, I realised that he was right. I felt despair when thinking about how limited our time on earth really is, how all the people we love are not here indefinitely and how everything can change in a blink of an eye. In an ironic way my father taught me one of the most important life lessons- “you only live once”. Living life to the fullest needs to be a daily goal. It is easier when you realise that grudges are pointless and they are a waste of perfect happiness, you should laugh when you can, apologise when you should, let go of what you can’t change, love deeply and forgive quickly so you never have to live a life full of regret, take chances, be bold and take daring opportunities, do activities that will create great memories and spend as much time and energy as you can
