One of the secrets to any great adventure is to open as fully as you can to what is happening—good, bad or indifferent—and try to respond from your Open Mind and Open Heart instead of reacting from your Chattering Mind.

You can even begin to see and relax into the reality of this river of life—thoughts, sensations, experiences and emotions—that is always shifting and changing around you and through your Open Mind and Open Heart.

From your Open Mind, you can respond consciously and directly to the flow of life, bringing freshness to each experience and a deeper knowing of who you truly are.

It’s as simple, yet as challenging as that, Adventurous One!
