Focus and Life

Why is it that we seek adrenaline to feel alive. To me those moment climbing, or kayaking where all my focus is solely on staying alive, on the next move, on what is happening now are some of the most alive moments of my life. My entire body, mind, and heart are all focussed on but one goal. Normal distractions become irrelivent. At times I wonder why I cannot live the rest of my life this focussed. Imagine the potential, if we all could live with such determination and focus that we devoted every single ounce of our energy to achieving the task at hand.

The feeling of being suddenly solely responsible for the outcomes of your existence. Which really happens all the time. However suddenly paddling down a big rapid, or high up a rock climb placing trad. This is when reality bites. It rears its head and says hello, your move.
