The key to changing something is not to oppose it but rather to provide a better alternative.

The meaning of Life-Cpt.Quinn
Two adventurers pursuing happiness.What is the meaning of life? It is a commonly asked question and many spend their entire lives searching for the answer. It has a firm place in the roots of most religions. Perhaps it is a question that we spend too much time thinking about. Is it really that hard to answer?
Most of our experiences to date will tell us that when we are happy life is better. So why not spend our entire lives trying to maximize our happiness?
Three steps to happiness
Sunset on Haida Gwaii.The first step than would be to discover the things that make us happy. The second step of course would be to pursue these things. The third step is more of a rule to ensure that happiness can be a shared experience. It is to live in a good way with others always working towards a state of harmony. Respect will prove to be the most valuable tool when trying to complete this step.
I am not going to tell you how you should live your life but I will tell you that in a world where distraction is seemingly everywhere it is easy to loose sense of what is really important.
The answer can be as simple as developing and maintaining healthy relationships with good genuine sincere people and the surrounding environment to which we all belong while living in a good way.
until next time keep on adventuring,

Intelligence is Appreciation-Cpt.Quinn
Perhaps it is human nature to take things for granted, especially when it is at our disposal. Or perhaps it is a by-product of us not recognizing the true value of things. Maybe it is an unintentional lack of intelligence. If intelligence is the ability to apply or acquire knowledge, where knowledge is the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject would it not stand to say that those who have the best understanding of a subject are the most intelligent. As we define appreciation as understanding a situation fully, we can now recognize the relationship between intelligence and appreciation. If intelligence is knowledge and knowledge is understanding which is pure appreciation, then intelligence is directly linked to appreciation. Therefore, when we take something for granted we are demonstrating a lack of appreciation and therefore a lack of intelligence.

Change the way in which you think-Cpt.Quinn
"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."

In Search of Adventure-Hanna
The one in search of adventure, thriving on the thrill of connecting with nature is the fulfillment of living in the moment, really enjoying the present. A sense of accomplishment and connection is tapped into and it is a truly satisfying experience on so many levels. It's spiritual!
If anxiety is human, maybe adventure seeking is one active form of meditation. While occasionally stressing the joints, it eases the cluttered mind through clear focus on the act at hand; fishing, flying, skiing...etc.

The Open Mind-Cpt.Quinn
"Choose to look at an issue from a different perspective and you gain."
-Captain Quinn
Things and Stuff-Cpt.Quinn
"The thing about stuff is that it is just a collection of things. If one goes through life constantly turning things into stuff, than their life will be nothing more than things and stuff. If one chooses to recognize the simple things in life than their things are no longer just things or stuff and their vocabulary becomes open to an entirely new world of emotion."
