If Hikers Ruled the World

Reason number six...


6. Learning to Take the Danger Trail While hiking in Letchworth with my brother and a bunch of my friends over Columbus Day we were enjoying the views, but the walk was pretty boring so we were keeping our eyes open for adventures off the beaten path. Somewhere in the beginning of the day we coined the phrase "danger trail" to refer to off shoots we wanted to take that seemed like they would offer more adventure than the trail we were on. Mind you, some of the danger trails we took were not actually trails at all, but they also were not all that dangerous either. Danger trails are adventures beyond the status quo that give life spice and it can be applied to more than just hiking. If you are scared to do something, you should probably just do it and bask in the adventure of trying something new. Take a few moments to access the true danger, but keep in mind that most things aren't going to kill you. Also keep in mind that our biggest regrets are the stuff we wish we had done but didn't, not the stuff we did and later had regrets about.
