Live Life To The Fullest

" I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life. "(Krakuer 15).

Inspiration

This quote really jumped out at me the minute I read it. Why live such a simple life, when there is so much more to live for? All those small crazy and dangerous things make life more interesting and fulfilling. You should not have to feel confined in a basic painting never knowing what adventures lay outside those borders. Seek out that curiosity and look outside of the picture and gather something valuable from those experience. Chris McCandless is the spitting image of what this quote states. McCandless always had this unfulfilled desire for adventure and exploration as a child. As he grew older he  found that "un-calm" course and excitement that gave him joy. He fulfilled that with his prolonged road trips around the states, and his menacing trip to Alaska, which sadly lead to his death. In a way I can say that this this is partially inspirational, because it pushes you to enjoy life to the fullest and add more meaning to it. Chris McCandless surely did that, and in a way lived by this quote till the end.
