9.6.23 // What Gets You Out the Door? (@rei x @runjanji x @lasportivana #DoortoWorld)

“What gets you out the door?”
.
There's the simple answer to that question...
.
What gets me out the door is the guarantee of the sweet, earthy air wafting under my nose, the feel of sunshine dancing on my skin, and the sounds of the leaves rustling among trees as I run beneath them.
.
Then there's the more complex answer to that question...
.
What gets me out the door is the sweet promise of the unknown. The promise that no matter what, every single run or adventure will look just a little bit different. And, for me, that's what makes life so wonderfully worth experiencing.
.
I recognize that, as humans, we are creatures of habit. We search for routine and take comfort in the predictable. We find security in the often assumptive "safety" of the "known."
.
But, if we accept change as the only constant variable... then isn't it exciting to know that the rarely predictable world is full of opportunities? of newness? of the promise of potential?
.
We can't replicate a moment. We can't be in the exact same place or show up as the exact same person. So, what gets me out the door is the potential for the best possible new moment and the guarantee of a new memory.
.
After all, a wise friend once told me, "Adventure usually starts when your plans go out the window." So here's to opening the window, and throwing the door wide open for good measure too.
