Today I looked back over the blog at all the crazy things I’ve done these past 49 days. Some will be with me forever (my lovely tattoo) and some I hope to soon forget (making a fool of myself at Century College).
I decided to do this blog is because I love variety; better yet I need variety. If I end up doing the same thing every day I go crazy. Give me anything, even if it’s boring, and I’ll be happy because it’s different and new.
Newness and change can be scary sometimes. But if you never try something you’ll never know if it’s something greater and better than you’ve ever experienced. Courage can do great things for your life and even courage in random activities can develop and grow into courage for big life decisions. New experiences increase your knowledge and wisdom as well. Through trying different things your eyes are open to more perspectives and more skills.
In addition to the great things new adventures can provide, I think the greatest thing this blog experiment did was get me thinking about all the new experiences out there that I haven’t tried yet. Even with doing two new things every week, I found my life to do list try grow rather than diminish.
Here’s my parting advice to you. Instead of stressing about money, finding a job or passing that really tough Calculus quiz, find some time to do something fun and new. Life’s too short to never fully live.
This is a great post to end on, Lindsay! It has been really cool watching you girls try out new things…not to mention inspirational. I don’t think I’ve ever done something new 49 days in a row…and if I did, I’m sure life would be a lot more interesting! Thanks for your encouragement to get outside the comfort zone!
