Doomed are those that fail to accept change and look at experiences with a fresh perspective. One thing is for certain in this world – change. How do we allow ourselves to live with a fresh perspective? Here are a few tips:

1. Read. Read. Read. Our brains are hyperactive and able to retain so much information when we’re in school and once we stop learning new information, our perspectives tend to remain the same unless we actively continue to educate ourselves. My favorite genre is self-development and I try my best to self-reflect and look to see what can be changed in myself to become a better version of myself.
2. Go out into the world and make new friends! Talk to new people! Share a pun with your barista! Say hi to the mailperson when you collect your mail. You never know who is going to drop gold-worthy advice on you.
3. Connect with those that you normally wouldn’t and allow your views about the world and it’s inhabitants to be expanded. New people and experiences are the juice in the pomegranate seeds of life and you must be in constant thirst for it.
4. And now a favorite, have more gratitude for everything in your life. When we’re thankful for running hot water, a soft bed to sleep in, the wonderful friends and family that surround us and delicious food available to eat, we attract more goodness into our lives. We change our mindset from always looking at what we’re lacking to looking at how much abundance we have.

Enjoy this beautiful life, you only get to live it as yourself once.
