Everybody knows who they are right? Well, most people have had relationships, gone to school, worked jobs, and had to participate in road rage at some point in their life. Although, not everybody has dropped everything for a long and hard, boundary dissolving adventure that allows you to really dig deep into your own personal psyche. A Long Distance hike, or a Thru-Hike is really ideal for this type of experience and it is ever life changing!
Society has a funny way of telling a person who they are or who they should be. Whether you're sucked into fashion, popularity, or money, they and many more things in our modern day lives can have adverse affects on ones' sense of security and priorities in life. Everybody wants to progress and grow but the illusion of progression is taught in a way that you should always move forward and build upon complexity, although this is true to an extent, one of the best things to do is to go back to basics! A person can make a house look great if they redo the roofing, but if the foundation is shit then you can bet it was done in vain.
A long distance hike is perfect for dissolving boundaries and conquering fears, as well as instilling self confidence. Long distance hikes also take away those securities that most people are glued to and make you forget about the all important basics of survival and what is truly needed without all the unnecessary excess our modern day world. Long distance hikes will break down many mental walls and will pave many new cognitive paths, the views are pretty good too. If you like walking through your desktop wallpaper in real life then pick a trip, warm up with alittle training, get your gear right and hit the Trail!
