Dance. Talk. Build. Network. Play. Help. Create. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re doing it. Sitting around and complaining is not an acceptable form of ‘something,’ in case you were wondering.
No one is normal. Everyone has quirks and insights unique to themselves. Don’t hide these things—they are what make you interesting.
If you don’t give a damn about anything, no one will give a damn about you.
Egos get in the way of ideas. If your arrogance is more obvious than your expertise, you are someone other people avoid.
Try it out. Play around with a new idea. Do something strange. If you never leave your comfort zone, you won’t grow.
If everyone else is doing it, you’re already late to the party. Do your own thing, and others will hop onto the spiffy wagon you built yourself. Besides, it’s more fun to drive than it is to get pulled around.
Boring is safe, and you will be told to behave yourself. The scolds could have, would have, should have. But they didn’t. And they resent you for your adventures.
I think I wrote a blog about changing the game. Increasing your brain activity and try learning and doing new things. Actually these things help aid in preventing memory loss in old age. So basically I concur with this article you found. Nothing is wrong with stepping outside of the box sometimes. I always decide to do things by myself or with new aquaintances I meet along the way. I gives my life much much much more excitement.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember that blog. Not only does it help to prevent memory loss, it helps to prevent all types of dementia, alzheimers, etc.
