TRY SOMETHING NEW
It’s academy awards time and I’m on a mission to see the five films that are nominated for best picture. I have one to go which is Juno.
I can’t say that I’ve liked all of the pictures. I don’t think “like” is the word. I’m not even sure why I want to see all of them.
Most of us have definite likes and dislikes. And over time they limit our choices and what we do. We have preconceived notions as to whether or not we are going to enjoy ourselves which continues to get reinforced over time.
The trap we fall into as we become more selective is that we put ourselves in a box. We don’t allow ourselves to experience new things or a new way at looking at things. Most of our friends think the same way we do and share similar spiritual and political beliefs.
It’s time to stretch. What is something that you avoid doing? What would happen if you not only did it but you embraced and told yourself that you are having fun.
Try it and see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised.
