When you decide to step into the unknown, life rewards you with a whole new world of opportunities. It is there where miracles happen. One day, when you least expect it, like magic, almost instantly, life revolutionizes your entire reality. The impossible becomes possible; what once seemed like a fantasy becomes real. Suddenly, you can touch what once seemed unreachable. Your heartbeat quickens, adrenaline courses through your veins, and you feel things you’ve never felt before. You take a deep breath, and in that precise moment, your soul awakens—you become conscious. You have stepped into the unknown; now, the adventure begins.

You realize that now you are truly alive. You understand the meaning of being alive, and that feeling connects you with your soul, your true self, and everything else around you. You feel reborn. Your soul expands as a strong energy travels throughout your body, flooding it with happiness. That strong and deep energy is then released into the world, out to the universe—a new star is born, and a whole new world is now in front of you. You are awake, you are alive, and that is all that matters.
The unknown holds the greatest treasures because it is there, in that particular place, where everything is possible. There are no boundaries; it is the place where magic happens. But in order to experience the feeling of being in such a place, one has to be willing to cross the barrier, to leave behind what is known and comfortable, and be ready to expose oneself to a whole new reality. To do this, we must be willing to face our fears, take risks, and go for it—no buts, no maybes, no halfway measures—fully, deeply, completely, with our whole selves.
“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” – Alan Alda
That is what I experienced when I decided to turn my life around by stepping into the unknown. It takes months to decide, but only a minute to make it happen, a minute to change your entire life. And then, miracles happen. In that moment of decision and action, life enlightened me, showing me a world of new opportunities. Slowly, it whispered: “Go, my dear soul, I set you free. Go get what sets your soul on fire. The world is yours. Discover it, experience it, and return to where you belong. Take what you deserve, and be happy.”
My 30s arrived with doubts and fears, with an old world falling to pieces—burning, disappearing. The fear of aging, a failing marriage, and uncertainty all weighed on me. But they also brought a whole new world ahead of me, calling my name. It extended a hand from the sky as if it were God himself, pulling me up from the hole, saving me, and telling me: “There is a whole new world waiting for you. You have wished, and here is the answer to your prayer. The life you deserve awaits you.” The unknown, the wild, the miraculous, the impossible were in front of me, and I decided to seize them. I wanted to do what scared me. I wanted to achieve what no one thought I could. I wanted to start again, dream a new dream, shape a new life, and create a brand new future. I wanted to experience life on a whole new level, and then the magic happened.
“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.” – Patrick Overton
I was invited to join a 5-day expedition by the company owners I work for as a gift for my arrival in the beautiful and intimidating 30s. The trip consisted of driving your own sled with the company of six Alaskan Huskies through the most magical Arctic tundra in all different weather conditions, sleeping in tents with no modern comforts. It was like traveling back in time to a more primitive lifestyle, the one we lost, the one that reconnects our soul to our roots. It’s the one that provides the most wonderful of feelings, the one that challenges you and makes you realize that the simplest things are and always will be the most important.
With no showers or toilets, no electricity, and sleeping in tents surrounded by snow, the weather changed from a completely clear sky to a snowstorm and furious winds in a matter of seconds. We drove the sleds with unstoppable and energetic Alaskan Huskies over easy paths, exhausting uphill climbs, and narrow, bumpy trails. After hours on the sleds, we arrived at various locations where we stayed for the night. We had to unpack the sleds, feed the dogs, build the tents, melt snow for warm drinking water, and heat up pre-made food we carried in boxes on our sleds.
Finally, after removing our heavy winter boots and expedition jackets and pants, we found shelter inside sleeping bags in the tents in the wilderness. Our roof was the sky, our floor the snow, our neighbors: the Huskies and nature in its purest state. Waking up in the Arctic, preparing breakfast in the tent, putting on our boots and jackets, and getting everything back on the sleds to continue the journey into the wild was an experience unlike any other. With our huskies and sled ready, we began again—more fascinating landscapes, emotions, the feeling of being truly alive, an intense sense of freedom, a deep connection with nature, and happiness in its purest state.
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.” – Eleonora Duse
After five intense and magical days, after hours of driving through the most wonderful conditions, surrounded by the most amazing landscapes, we reached the pickup point where they awaited us. The trip was finished, but it was not the end—it was the beginning of a whole new life. I had tears in my eyes as we said goodbye to one another, especially to the most magical beings, the Alaskan Huskies. With their enthusiasm, free spirit, passion, and strength, they had taken us on the most wonderful of journeys.
I was not the same. I was reborn. I understood I had put myself far outside my comfort zone and succeeded. I understood that real life happens when you do what you are afraid of or when you do what you genuinely love—when you enjoy life to the fullest. When you are not scared of the unknown but instead embrace it and let it surprise you, you discover your true strength, authentic self, and true nature. Only then will you realize that the sky is the limit.
To experience an extraordinary life, one must be willing to leave the comfort of ordinary life. Leave the shore, sail into the unknown, discover new worlds, make the impossible possible, and live life to the fullest!
