Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
There are different types of security. A roof over our heads, clean water, a stocked refrigerator, a ‘good’ job. The well-worn path society the herd travels.
Nothing destroys our sense of adventure more than a secure future.
The outliers movement challenges us to do something great.
To be adventurous…
Mend an important relationship before it’s too late, help raise money for a cure to something without one yet, or something in between.
Zero excuses?

How important is risk taking to you?
(pausing while you do your math)

Were you uncontrollably inspired yesterday?
American Idol and the art of chasing your dream. Was originally attracted to Idol because of Simon Cowell’s brutal honesty – it provided inspiration during some tough years at Disney and Disney Institute.
Fell away from Idol for a few years, but currently hooked again, with renewed commitment.
Why?
Unusually inspired by the artistry, and the overwhelming risk-taking that must be present to stand out in a sea of hopefuls.
Kinda like our own personal world, eh?

What’s the worst that could happen?
Willing to try new things?
Willing to do it all the time?
Willing to occasionally push the boundaries?
What if you were?
Have lost 900 Twitter followers in three days because of a radical experiment.
Am expecting to lose thousands more. Willing to take the risk. Otherwise the regret in never knowing would be haunting.
