A positive mindset

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.
