I positively crave trying new things as I believe I am still young and want to open my mind to the unfamiliar. I also love a challenge and trying something new is like a new adventure for me!
Then we have those people that rather prefer the usual and to me there is nothing wrong with this, I do however feel they should consider trying something new every once in a while to prove to themselves that their fear for the unknown is not holding them back in life.
Each new thing you try will teach you a new experience, either good or bad; it is a great way of self-development. It forces you to step out of your comfort zone into the unfamiliar where we often feel unsafe. Do not be afraid of this fear but be afraid to have it cause you to miss out on life. It requires courage but the reward of trying something new opens up the possibility for you to enjoy something new.
All it takes is a small courageous step of dipping your toes in the unfamiliar waters and experience that small taste of a new adventure – our careers start like this and so we even meet our life partners and that same little step can have you discover a great love for something new that you might never had thought would capture your attention.
I lately tried ballroom dancing classes and absolutely enjoy every moment of it. From a new hobby to ordering something new on the restaurant menu, try to introduce something new into your life every now and then - it keeps you from becoming bored and force you to grow as a person.
I fully agree. To really live, we need to let go of the everyday routine!
ReplyDeleteI also agree. No one likes change, but if we just give it a chance we will be amazed at the affect. Change is also for the better. They say change is as good as a holiday and this is definitely so.
ReplyDeleteIt is our job as PRP's to also advise management on how they should go about change in our business.
