Living on the road could be an astonishing experience, but sometimes something go wrong, suffer a theft, puncture a tire, lose your phone, or… crash. When something bad happens, what do you normally do? Do you get stressed out or feel helpless? I did, for so long till the day I discovered that getting mad and not get quickly over it, is just a waste of time.
When something bad happens, I do everything possible not to fall into stress. I don’t focus on the problem, I shift my mindset towards a solution. I learned the hard way that something good can always come from something bad.
I broke the chain between Chile and Argentina, nearest village at 60 miles. I slept in a mountain shelter and in the morning I met a guy who invited me on a three days horse tracking. Was fantastic.
Got an accident during my vacation in Italy and forgot to sell my Bitcoins as my plan was.. You can imagine the rest of the story.
I suffered a ligament contusion in my knee while training on a enduro bike and during the physiotherapy I discovered a new Taylor made way to train my legs and now I’m much stronger and with a better posture.
I have several experiences like these. It’s all mindset. All perspective. We control our attitude, effort, and focus. If we choose, we can maintain a positive mindset in the face of any adversity.
Totally agree Johnny, a positive mind always makes the difference.
You broke the chais? How is that possible? And in a remote south America area! Man you are not normal at all 😊😊😊
Yep man, it’s possible. Especially when you are stupid enough to forget to clean & lube your motorcycle chain on a daily basis
This is the magic of adventure travels, overcome obstacles. A positive mindset is everything. There is no upside on being negative..
Tu non sei normale, stai vivendo il sogno di molti e lo fai con una nonchalance disarmante. Pare tutto semplice per te. Complimenti
You always surprise us with some insights
I love that attitude! I always try to be positive especially in the bad moments, not easy, but it’s worth it
I want to know something more on the "taylor made way to train my legs" 😂😂😂
Do not let me even start….
You broke the chain? That’s because you don’t ride a BMW
With a BMW I would never have gotten up there
Great post, but now you need to elaborate on the special physical therapy exercises, which greatly improved your leg strength
