this is a message to myself. get out of your own little world. your own little world doesn’t do you any good.
we are so closed minded. even open minded people aren’t really all the way open (kinda like a hi-hat)
if we didn’t get in our little boxes a lot of things would be better.
i started thinking about this yesterday, when all i heard about was the bounty hunter guy and his racist phone conversation. obviously, he doesn’t go around talking like that all the time. he was in his comfort zone, being himself. making ignorant comments because of his little box.
i hate going overseas and seeing americans get frustrated at someone who doesn’t speak good english. we think everyone should speak english, eat at mcdonalds, drive a ford, and sing the star spangled banner.
sure, it’s easy to be comfortable. but if you don’t open yourself up, you can’t grow. i’m giving you some homework this time
1. try something new ( food, activity, change in habit)
2. meet someone new, and have a conversation. someone who is different than you. you’d be surprised what you can learn
