“Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed." -Buddha
Today I challenge you all to open yourself up to accept new opportunities and ideas. Often times when we get older we become set in our ways and develop tunnel vision. How do you know if its happened to you? If someone asks you why you do something a certain way you respond with "well because its how I've always done it." We decide what we like and do like and what we will and wont do. Unfortunately, doing so does not make our lives easier. What happens is that we become stuck in the time period we were in when we made our decision. I'm not challenging you to force new things on your life, I'm challenging you to leave yourself open to new things. There is nothing wrong with favoring a certain brand, but do not become so loyal that you miss the opportunity to try something better. You dont have to abandon your favorite brand of coffee, but if competition offers a better brew for a cheaper price at least give them a try. You dont have to give up your favorite search engine, but if a competitor promises a better search give them a try. You dont have to give up anything you love in order to try something new. Although you may not like the new product, at least you have given yourself a fair opportunity to try a new thing.
Love!
