When I was little I was watching a cartoon and one of the characters in it was a Native American and basically he said, "Peace out guys. I'm going on a vision quest." and then he left into the wilderness. It seems like a good thing to do once in a while. Maybe it's a solo climb for a few days, a trek alone, a hitchhiking adventure, or a long drive. Looking back at solo stuff that I never thought I would do, I realize that these could have been my version of a vision quest. I didn't do a lot of self-reflection, but maybe there will be chances for more vision quests. And maybe it doesn't always have to be alone. A lot of being in that zone happens when you're in a new place. You're in a new place, appreciate. You're back home, appreciate. Appreciate when times are good and when times are bad. Be aware etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279396412537235197.post-11455226182323320262013-02-18T08:02:03.449-08:002013-02-18T08:02:03.449-08:00I completely understand.

I think that's why I take so much time to reflect on the things that I do and the things that happen in my life, that way I won't have that feeling of wishing I had known what I know now - because I took the time to figure it out.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974064299863035709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279396412537235197.post-18979171312796785852013-02-17T22:10:56.472-08:002013-02-17T22:10:56.472-08:00I really realized that I was getting older at 27. ...I really realized that I was getting older at 27. Now I get injured more. I can't eat whatever I want and not exercise and not get bigger. I look old in the face. My hair is receding. It's like 23-26 was when I was at my fittest and best looking and I didn't even realize it.<br /><br />It feels like things are more serious now. I can't be a carefree young guy anymore. It would be great if I could go back and be me again knowing what I know now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
