I got home from helping with the Tour De Cure event here in North Carolina. When I got home, I stood and stared at the house, taking in all the details, as if not trusting what I saw.
I could’ve sworn that everything looked different. Everything was different. It had to be. And yet, I couldn’t quite identify any change in particular.
Later yesterday evening, I figured out that it wasn’t my home that had changed – it was me! I had departed Saturday morning to do something new – volunteer for a public service event. Because I had been willing to venture outside of my comfortable existence, the eyes I brought home saw everything in a different light.
Travel can do that for you, but you don’t need to travel. Just trust yourself enough to try something new and you will never be the same.
