These experiences stay with you. No matter when they happened, 70 years or 70 days ago, once the demands of family, job and responsibilities no longer dominate your time, remembering these experiences brings joy. In my case, even the negative experiences caused positive long term changes.

You set off on a quest the moment you opened this app. You have already begun that journey. Every day you are learning, practicing, returning, evolving.

It's important that you give yourself credit for every bit of effort you make, no matter the outcome. You are in the process of redesigning your life.

I definitely can say I have had my fair share of powerful first experiences within the past 12 years of my life that’s for sure. Been to many places and had partaken in numerous novel experiences. I can’t say my life is boring that’s for sure.

Feels like this has prepared me for the future. Creating personal powerful first experiences is powerful 💯

This presentation has a great idea: We can constantly bring new vitality to our lives with new experiences.

This is truth! You need nature! Lots of people from the city don't realize how amazing just being in the woods is for your mind! Such a shame people don't travel enough. Too bad the middleclass has been destroyed by the rich right wing

Thank you so much Mr. Chabert. PFE is a real thing than can empower a person whose life seems settled. People need to be inspired by new things to keep a young mindset! This is a remarkable speech I hope more people have the chance to watch it😊

Oh snow angels and snow forts. I did that when I was a teen.

It's funny this came up on my feed, one of my new years resolutions was 1 unique experience per week. I also work a job where I travel so that requires not one singular bland commute.

What a coincidence! I just booked a flight to Bozeman today!

One of the better talks I've listened to in a while.

[DarkoNomad]

I really feel sorry for so many people who live in urban environment and don't develop the proper connection and appreciation for nature. It's not novelty at all, it's where we belong. It must be awful to live in NYC to appreciate this things such late in your life, we all need it since early childhood.

Let's make everyday a new adventure.

[LetoDK]

I believe this is what the kids these days call "touching grass". Does "PNE" really need a name? The point is mostly just "get off your phone, and go out and try news stuff".

[girlgamer]

Thank you for showing me a good video. Wishing you a very nice new day!

you don't have to travel....Public Speaking allow someone to tell their story who they are what they want in life etc

"Development does not only mean increased production of goods- but also the development of people – the stimulation of their innate abilities, giving them a feeling of self-determination, self-respect, self-reliance and enthusiasm. Unless people are involved in the process of development and are given a chance to do something worthwhile, to grasp new ideas, acquire new skills and develop a sense of their own worth, no society can move out of misery and poverty"
