If new things scare you....I completely get it. I'm the type of person who would always eat the same things at the same restaurant, wear the same type of clothes, watch similar television shows, but I'm learning that variety is the spice of life. We hear that all the time and I'm finally seeing that its true. It's good to force yourself out of your little safe comfortable zone and experience new things, new tastes, sounds, smells, recipes, projects and so on.
We should face our fears....
We should never stop learning......
We should constantly challenging ourselves....
We should never stop caring...
We should never stop helping others....
We should never stop loving....
I say in this new year, we challenge ourselves... we step outside our comfort zone or be improving in at least one area in each facet of our life including personal, family, work and fun. This way we are being stretched and challenged in a few different directions and can find balance. Take a class, learn a skill, try a new recipe, experiment with a new do it yourself project, develop a new friendship, read a new kind of book, or try a new fitness routine. The possibilities are endless!
Whatever it is you chose, though, make sure that its ultimately blessing your life, not serving as burden of guilt or making you feel like a failure.
Challenging yourself to always be learning will not only inspire your creativity and motivate you to think outside the box, but it will give you a new zest and passion for life. New experiences will provide new stories, new memories, new questions to ponder and new view points to consider.
On this note.... I think I will challenge myself and....
