A modern day adventurer & life purpose

[undeather]

I am sure many of you are already following his youtube-channel, but for those who dont - it's a masterclass in having an adventurous & exciting life. In todays society, where most people just exist through the hamsterwheel they call their life, its so refreshing to see this kind of passion burning bright at least in some of us. The funny thing is that this guy used to be a super insecure & depressed dude who turned his life around in his late 30's - now he is traveling to the most absurd locations, deeply bonding with people and having a good time with his beautiful, young girlfriend. Imagine having this kind of life in your late 40's and not the basic, boring, blunt experience most individuals get at that age.

It reminds of alot of Osho's concept of Zorba the Buddha. Zorba the Greek is the protagonist from celebrated novelist Nikos Kazantzakis’s novel of the same title. He is personification of the spirit of life. He indulges in sensual pleasures, he dances and plays the santuri, and he does not hesitate in his exhilarated enjoyment of life. Zorba exemplifies the Dionysian passion for living as seen in his enthusiasm for women, wine,and hard work. Buddha does not need any introduction. The whole concept breathes "being in the world, but not of the world".

I think his latest video (the one I posted below) is absolutely insane. I mean, who would have the balls to do that? It feels like a small heroes journey - like a archetypal pirate searching for a treasure, overcoming obstacles and finally getting to the promised land. 

Everyone has his own version of adventure in his life. You dont have to do what he does - but what does really excite YOU and are you willing to follow through with that? I think that's a question we should all ask ourselves more often.

It's good the get reminded what crazy, fucking adventure life can be - even outside any spiritual context.
