What a wonderful superpower! One year I decided to try something new every month. Not like your friend's superpower, just a step out of the box. What a wonderful year it was. Caving, dancing, trying new foods. And the opportunity always presented itself. I didn't need to search, I just had to say yes. Thank you! Happy memories and maybe some new tomorrows, too πŸ’–

So much of life opens up to us when we say yes! That was likely a year of growth with some wonder mixed in!

Taking (reasonable) risks and saying yes when opportunities arise is a good recipe for an interesting, fulfilling life. β€œFortune favors the brave” is a fairly accurate cliche. It has paid off for me countless times. Stepping out of that comfort zone (being brave) and viewing life as an adventure is essential.

As your story illustrates.

Another apt cliche is "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Believing in yourself and taking chances makes life interesting.

Indeed it does. I love the philosophy of committing and figuring it out. I try to live that way.
