Exploration: Philosophy + Experience

Exploration involves both the philosophical and the experiential.

In "The way of the Wild Heart" John Eldridge [3] writes about a Masculine Journey. It begins in the early boyhood years, and finishes somewhere in the warrior years which are periods of personal development common in a mans life. I cycled across America the second time listening to the audio version of the book, while exploring my character and America on two wheels.

My three Trans-America rides became much more than the logistics of transport from coast to coast, and more than numerous news articles published about my ride for MOMtrepreneurs. I was exploring my potential, while learning about my influence. I was transforming my philosophy of personal endurance into a life transforming experience by being fully “in the moment” for days on-end.

I learned that opportunity is often discovered by doing what we are the most passionate about – and sometimes stepping out in faith.
I learned that provision always "shows up" just as it is required - as does a teacher, when we are really ready to learn.

Exploring is about discovery, over time, earned by effort invested in something you are passionate about. It's largely about the journey, rather than the destination. It's a large part of the reward which precedes great character.

he telescope icon seems obvious for this facet. For me, it includes knowing what Galileo and Copernicus endured in the face of skepticism and outright resistance. Looking to the future, into the heavens, into the unknown is a skill and a joy known intimately by entrepreneurs and enterprising couples. This section of our work brings you insights, tools and experiences to mature your faith, and your understanding.

 

 
[3] The Way of the Wild Heart by John Eldridge
This is a great resource for guys and gals to understand some of our missing life experiences, and then how to ‘complete’ a phase in life, no mater what your chronological age. I listened to the audio numerous times, and gave copies to a lot of friends and family.

KNOW fear!

KNOW fear!Remember the ‘NO FEAR’ bumper sticker? I’ve seen them on the back of old beater trucks and rusted Volvo wagons with mismatched body parts. I’d usually spot the sticker right after they cut in front of me, while trying to pass with head-on traffic. My usual reaction was something like; “you don’t have fear cause you’re stupid!”

The Power of the Air

The Power of the AirWhat we speak isn’t just hot air. It encourages and heals, destroys and condemns. Our thinking is one thing – it hurts us. But, the self-talk we let fly out of our hurt, is completely another. I know. I’ve done more damage with my words, than with any other weapon.
