i think you've just got to jump in head first.

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – 

I took the one less traveled by.”

Robert Frost

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

Henry Miller

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”

Martin Buber

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
