Comfort is something that most of us are completely satisfied with, especially when it comes to the routine we have set for ourselves. Perhaps it is that we have put a great amount of effort into creating our lifestyle, or the notion, "Why fix something that isn't broken?" While the later statement is definitely logical, it isn't completely true. Everything can always be upgraded, in order for it to reach its greatest potential. For example, the moment a new version of a cell phone is release, people rush to the nearest store of their cellular provider to purchase it. Even though your current phone is still fully functional, we crave something that is new and up to date.

This same cell phone theory can apply to our lives as well. Instead of being satisfied with our normal, possibly average life, we should try and take steps to make it the best it can be. Why wouldn't we want a more exciting existence? Because stepping out of your comfort zone is scary. I'm sure there is some scientific explanation for fear, or why we get nervous. But honestly, the thought of failure can stop us from trying a new activity; perhaps embarrassment would come along with this as well. Once in a while we need to try something new, and taking the first step is the scariest part. Although afterwards you are left with a sense of satisfaction no matter the outcome of the situation.

So my challenge to you is this: try something that conjures up butterflies in your stomach. Whether that is making small talk with someone you have never met, join a club for an activity you have always wanted to try, or even explore a new area in your town. Take a moment of your day to try and add some spice to your life, and you will never look back at your old self.
