Painting by numbers

in Adventure

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show ~Cyndi Lauper

Planning and executing an adventure, whether a bicycle ride or the greater journey of life, can be seen in the same light as creating a painting.

Comments on a recent post inspired this line of thought.

Just as great adventures leave us with vivid memories, we can colour the future with bold dreams, as we brighten the present with imaginative outlines.

Even if you choose to set your sights on a well-worn path, blaze every trail as if it were terra incognita; no one else mixes exactly the same hue as you. Don’t brush aside the chance to leave your mark.

What colour will you paint 2012?

Don’t be afraid to stray a little bit outside the lines.
