Just Do it!!

The other day ,I was at subway ordering a 6 inch sub. I knew exactly how I wanted it to be,wheat bread ..all veggies chipotle etc, even before I had it in hand ,I had in my mind what I wanted it to taste like. I was with a friend who told me , he tried a different combination every time! I asked him what happens if he doesn't like what he got, to which he said "oh i'm hungry , I'l eat it anyway".

So there I was ,making sure that every ingredient falls right while he was taking chances over his lunch!! ..and then it hit me... I am missing out on a chance of having a better sub by sticking to a known combination. I realized I have had the same sandwich so many times
lesson 1: Do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

This is specially for people who think , their lives have become very monotonous. I feel it is a genuine way of adding spice to life. More so it actually helps you be more aware and grow as a person. So take a different route to work/school and you never know you might like whatever you find.

Takes chances ,hmm ,so blow off all your money at Las Vegas ? Go trekking in Grand Canyon /Mt Everest ? change your career as and when you wish ? get that hair color you always wanted?..........
May be not all of that, where to draw the line is upto us.
lesson 2: Assess the stakes. Make sure that the worst case loss wont throw you off.

Even if your little/big adventure does not go down well, it should be recoverable. I mean life is everything and then there are responsibilities. But even with these constraints I feel there is a lot of scope for experiments!
