Do one thing every day that scares you… or 25.
Winter can make life too quiet and it’s easy to get stuck in a rut. It’s not just you; it happens to all of us. But there’s a danger that rests in that cozy indoor nest you’ve built up for yourself: a danger of becoming lazy, apathetic, or worse, complacent.
It’s not easy to kick the rut, but it’s worth it. These photos celebrate the wild, crazy, heart-pumping exhilaration that comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. So grab that snowboard. Buy that rollercoaster ticket. Embrace adventure and the adrenaline that comes with it.
