My friend at work was telling me recently about her experience at church. She said she and her husband always sit in the same pew with the same people both in front of them and behind them. One Sunday, they impulsively decided to sit somewhere else. As a result, the people they were sitting next to thought they were new members even thought they’d been attending the same church for years. The people they usually sat next to, thought they just weren’t there. She met a lot of new people and got a whole new perspective which excited her because it was such a positive experience. It got me to thinking about how we are such creatures of habit and what we miss out on because of it. For me, I’ve learned that shaking things up once in awhile is a really good thing. Something as simple as taking a different route to work can completely change my outlook on the day as well as help get my creative juices flowing more freely. Why is it that we are so often afraid to move outside our comfort zone? Moving around and getting a different perspective makes things so much more interesting and you never know who you might meet or what adventure you might have. I highly recommend it. Life is just too short. Keeping your head in the sand serves no purpose but to make you blind to the amazing possibilitie all around you. Move on out of that comfort zone and enjoy everything life has to offer. You never know what you may be missing.
