October 21, 2024: Venture Out!
"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
⁃ Eleanor Roosevelt
Sometimes it's good just to venture out and take a chance by being courageous enough to try something new! You might be pleasantly surprised at how exhilarating and just plain fun a spontaneous adventure might be. That child we once were is still buried somewhere inside us and should be allowed to occasionally come out and play. Just for the heck of it you could take a different route to work or a different route home from work. Or you could jump in a puddle of water on a rainy day just to see the splash. How about the next time you're ordering at a restaurant, don't order the same old thing you always order. Order the first entrée that catches your eye, something you've never had before. How about walking up to a total stranger and introducing yourself? When was the last time you did that? When was the first time you did that? You can meet some very interesting people that way. I met a pole dancer the week before last at a coffee shop and had a nice conversation. Life is just full of small adventures, just waiting for our curiosity to discover them. Break the bars of your comfort zone and start enjoying and discovering the excitement of your uncomfort zone!
