The spirit of trying new things!

We all do it, we’re creatures of habit! We love a routine and too often shy away from opportunities to try something new! When ‘one day’ couldn’t be further away and excuses hold us back from truly living, why not be the person who rises to the occasion? Be the person who takes life by the reins and lives for the ride. Here’s why that person should be you.

Reason 1 – Courage builds character

No matter the risk, big or small, building the courage to tackle a new opportunity head-on is an undeniably admirable quality. It shows the world that you live for the day, that you aren’t afraid of failure, because at the end of the day it’s failure that makes you stronger.

Reason 2 – The possibilities are endless

How many opportunities have you skimmed over through fear of failure? Or perhaps it’s because we’re far too afraid of how we appear from the outside looking in. It’s time to start looking inwards to find the strength to do things we never thought we could, you won’t believe how many possibilities present themselves when you’re open to them.

Reason 3 – Because boredom is boring

Really, think about that for a second. Residing in a state of boredom offers absolutely no fulfillment. Why not fill those wasted hours with things that you daren’t even try before, take up those dance lessons you’ve always wanted, apply for that job you never thought you’d land, even when you don’t succeed, at least you’ll be able to take gratification in the fact that you give your all!

Reason 4 – It forces you to grow

It’s often too easy to fall into a stagnant state of self, where you are always around the moment yet never in it. Taking the initiative to get involved will open up a world of personal and professional growth. Be open to the challenge of change, be open to shifting perspective and taking action, not only will it keep you humble but you will learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible.

 

With all being said, it’s time to take action. Don’t let this article rest in your history folder and continue about your regimented day, take the next opportunity life presents to try something new. Be daring. Be bold. Be the best you that you can be! We can’t wait to hear about all of your progress, so be sure to let us know how it goes. Remember, there’s only one way to know and that is to try.
