Try Something New, Even if it Seems Daunting

I’ve found myself with the opportunity to try new and unique things, as partially evidenced by my unicycling and swing dance articles.

Trying new things often means going out on our own to experience something new. It often means a little investment, even if just buying a ticket to attend a unique event. It also usually means were putting ourselves in a circumstance that people in our normal circles may not know much about.

Going outside of the “normal” can be truly freeing, and wonderful though, it means we feel so satisfied when we’ve followed through with our intentions because we took the step ourselves. Your parents didn’t sign you up for the appropriate class, and it wasn’t the sports team that everyone else you age joined. Not to say these things are bad, they’re just a different kind of experience. 

I say this all with a hint of caution, don’t try dumb things just to be cool or “hip”. Try things that you know have been beneficial to others and maybe put your own twist on it if you can.
