“You can find the way by yourself naturally… to not do this to impress people, just follow your instincts.” -Sebastien Foucan
I wrote a guest post about how you can improve your life by following your own way on Jonathan Mead’s excellent and unconventional Illuminated Mind. The idea is to take a cue from freerunning and break free of the “sidewalks” in life to find the most fulfilling path for yourself.
From the article:
“What’s freerunning? The short categorical answer: an urban running pseudo-sport. The real answer: it’s about finding your own way.
Freerunning is taking your own (most effective) path through obstacles and structures in a city, or whatever setting. Vaulting over a fence instead of walking around it. Jumping over stairs instead of taking them down. You find and take the creative short way instead of the intended long way.
Now, why would you do this? Well, first of all, it’s fun. Freerunning is an urban sport in a way. You use your creativity to find and maneuver through obstacles – like skateboarding. But freerunning can also be a discipline for personal development: following your own way. And that’s what it became for me.”
