What could you try for the first time?
Trying new things and pushing ourselves to the limit is sometimes a good thing. This is one way we find out if we like or dislike something. We can be surprised by the things we may discover that we really enjoy. The more things we try and experience the more fulfilled our life becomes. We should never be discouraged to try something due to what someone has said. We are all different and we will like and dislike different things. Now if multiple people are saying the same thing, it’s probably a good idea to listen to them. Think of it when we want to buy a new product, but we will read the reviews. We will not base our thoughts on the product from one person but multiple people. Same thing when we try something new and exotic, we will take input from multiple people so we can find out the pros and cons about the thing we are thinking of trying. What was an experience you took a risk on and discovered you liked it?
Trying a new experience.
You are probably how to find something I haven’t tried. You need to get out there and explore our world! It can be something simple like watching a new movie or playing a new game. A new experience can be something bigger, for example hiking through the woods or visiting the water locks. Just like something simple we research a little about it to see if we would like it; we can do the same for bigger experiences. You may discover you enjoy mountain climbing and here you never thought you would ever like that. Sometimes our experiences can be right in front of us, and we don’t realize we will take a risk. For example, I went to school for automotive and I have automotive degree. I worked at one of the big three testing, validating, and developing engines. I was on the diesel team. One day after not really enjoying my job for a while and having a heart to always wanting to help people I tried EMS (Emergency Medical Services). My first day on the ambulance I knew this is what I wanted to do from now on. I would’ve never guessed doing this job in a million years but taking a risk and trying it has been the best decision ever. My true goal was to work in a hospital which I did try when I switch ambulance companies. I learned a lot in the hospital, but it wasn’t for me. So, you never know what you will enjoy or do unless you take a risk and throw yourself out there.
People and their input, ughh!
Everyone has an opinion about everything! They will have an opinion even if they know nothing about it. When I started in EMS my parents didn’t understand what I fully do, in fact they really had no clue besides take people to the hospital. They still do not fully know what I do, and I will never tell them all the really bad stuff. But after me talking to them and explaining more in depth the things we do on the ambulance they defiantly have a better understanding and a different input on it now. Some people will have an idea of what something is, and they will base their own beliefs and opinions when they really have no idea about this thing. So, when getting someone’s opinion, review, or beliefs about something just take note of it but do not come up with an assumption from one’s person’s input. The best thing to do is get multiple people’s input and then take note of the good and bad. The only way to know something for sure is for you to go out there and experience it yourself. We are all different and sometimes good or bad experiences can be affected by the environment.
Experience affected by environment?
Experiences can be affected by the environment around it. Imagine going for a walk around the block but it starts raining hard and the sidewalks flood. Your experience of your last walk around the block will be horrible due to the rain, your feet got wet, you were soaked and cold. That’s because the environment around the walk itself made the experience bad. The same goes for visiting a small town or a tourist attraction. Maybe you meet a local that shows you all the hidden gems and some cool stuff around their town. Your experience of this small town will be good due to the environment of having a local guide you. The environment can play a huge role in how we look at something or of an experience. Being we are all so different from each other this is why we should experience everything ourselves at least once. Input from others is good but it should never be set and stone unless everyone is having the same input on something. For example, if everyone says do not touch dry ice it will burn you due to it being so cold. You might want to take everyone’s input on that. Now if a percentage of people say do not play outside during the day because it’s so hot and another percentage says it’s so great to get some sun and play during the day. You will have to experience it yourself to know if you like playing outside during the day. You may take the bad input and wear sunscreen and hat but that should not stop us from experiencing it ourselves.
The good with the bad.
Trying something new is a good thing. This is a way for us to learn new things and find stuff we like or dislike. While we can take input from other people’s experiences or thoughts, we should never fully base our assumption on it without experiencing it ourselves. So, what are you waiting for, go wild and try something you never thought you would want to do.
What is something you are willing to try that you have very little knowledge of?
