Kayaking at Horseshoe Bend

Six years ago today, I found myself kayaking to Horseshoe Bend, captivated by the moment and the view that stretched before me. It’s funny how life teaches you—sometimes subtly, sometimes boldly—that what you see isn’t all there is. I used to think the vantage point from the top of Horseshoe Bend was everything, and it is breathtaking, undeniably one of the most beautiful places in the world. But then I experienced it from below, a perspective few witness, and it shifted something inside me. I’ve seen it from a 🚁, where the land reveals its grandeur, and then from a hot air balloon, where the stillness and elevation let the whole world feel within reach, also from a small ✈️. Each of these views is remarkable, each one adding another layer to the experience. And it made me realize: how often do we limit ourselves to one perspective, believing it’s the only right way? We get stuck in a mindset that our way of seeing things is the way, but there’s so much more out there, just waiting for us to explore. Life’s greatest destination isn’t a place on the map, it’s the unknown—the infinite possibilities we don’t even know are waiting for us. What’s more incredible than that?
