Life is about using the whole box of crayons. It's the beginning of the school year. If you're a lucky kid, you are going to start it with a brand new set of Crayola crayons. You are super duper lucky if your parents bought you the box of 120 with a built in sharpener on back.
Those first coloring projects are amazing, aren't they? Every crayon fits in your hand and has a beautiful point. And then October rolls around, and your favorites are well-rounded down. By May, you're left with a few nubs of crayons that you work at unwrapping the paper so you can use them. All the while, the four ugliest colors in the box remain untouched and pristine in point. Colors like suntan, yellow-green, and brick red.
Life's a little bit like that. We tend to pick our favorite things and stick with them. Which is great, but can be somewhat boring and predictable.
Living our best life is exploring new things. Taking a class. Trying a new hobby. Meeting a new friend. Who knows what all awaits us?
Possibly, our favorite things are yet to be discovered. Go ahead. Open the box and try something new.
