Road Trip Nation

Watching Grant Golliher interview, he left his hometown, which is in Colorado at a farm, on a mule to seek adventure. He was easily influenced by his peers that led to doing things that are wrong, but just couldn't say no because he didn't want to be rejected. He had a tough childhood that his mother would be mentally ill and going through several depressions and as a result he himself would go through those same issues as well until he realized that we gonna be the one who says “I'm gonna face this thing and it's gonna stop in my generation”. What makes him to keep going forward is the dream of the adventure by making a living of what he enjoys doing which is moving cows around in the country, being a cowboy and training horses. He has learned lots of things about himself when working with horses such as that we have things that we need to work on personally and if we don't work on those personal work stuff then we'll never go forward in life. His passion is really training horses and then from years of training horses he found that he was training the horses but the truth is the horses were training him to be a better person. So the focus is gone from adventure to finding his passion which is horses and training horses and moved on it to people. Its people he wish running from that he ran away but really he was running for himself, he was running from his own problems.
I learned from this interview that our lives are always being challenged by our fears. Life is all about facing your fears. We are all afraid of something that says “I like to go there, but I'm afraid”. When you step out there, even though you're afraid, somethings gonna be there to hold you up and you'll be able to get through. You can't run from your own problems. You can go around and around but you can't get away from yourself. You have to face your fear (no matter how much it frightens you) as you process to overcome it later in the future. Most importantly is never never give up on your dreams.
His story has taught me to challenge myself to face my fear and while I do face it I can discover more about myself of who I really am. I can use what I learned if I don't know what to say or don't know the answer to a question and I just feel this pressure around me and it's just almost overwhelming, I need to just hang in there and it'll come. Eventually, the right words will come and that would be the answer. I can be afraid, but I also need to have faith.
