“I want to make it to 85 and be exhausted because I have been alive and awake every single day.” – Jedidiah Jenkins
Jedidiah Jenkins doesn’t want to look back and harbor resentment towards decisions made or paths chosen. He wants to live a life extraordinary.
“The routine is the enemy of time,” he says, “it makes it fly by. When you’re a kid, everything is astonishing, everything is new. So your brain is awake and turned on. So every passing second your brain is learning something new, learning how the world works. And so the muscle of the brain is activated. As you get older, and your brain has figured out the patterns of the way the world works… the alertness goes away, the fascination with how the world works. And that’s what travel does, it wakes up your brain.”
We might all awake our brains.
