I’ve worn many hats (or helmets at it were), both literally and figuratively. This is a photo from 2012 during a seasonal appointment as a Wildland Firefighter on the Boulder ranger district in Nederland, Colorado (my former home). . I’ve had this thought that perhaps there is something wrong with me because I can’t seem to stick to one line of work. I’ve worked as a rock & ice climbing guide, a bicycle touring guid, a medical marijuana grower, a firefighter, a camp counselor, a stage manager in film/tv, a photographer, an event producer and some other, less memorable roles. . I’ve finally realized (in my early 30’s) that like the educational system in the US, our traditional career framework is outdated and unrealistic for a lot of us. I’ve learned that I’m not your traditional worker bee. . Instead of looking at my past jobs as failed attempts to ‘pick something’ I like to think of them as ‘life enrichment exercises’, each one expanding upon my knowledge and helping me navigate forward towards the next great adventure. . The great mountaineer Alex Lowe expanded on Helen Kellers message when he said, “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” I take this message to heart and encourage you all to follow yours. Take a chance, do something bold and uncharted. Live your best life and make it a great adventure. (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuLdbSFHnH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1caq1na8c7dui -- source link
