Well, here we go again. It's the middle of January already and we are #BehindTheScenes. For today, we are going to talk about favorites. It's not just personal preferences...
It's about privacy. Besides that, I do not have anything I would consider a favorite. I have things that move me in times of happiness and sadness. Sometimes, songs are there to remind me of feelings. Movies bring back good times and funny quotes. Yearly trips somewhere are traditions, and they are comforting and memorable.
Life is about choices. It is not just the ones in your life. It is the idea that there is a whole world out there and not all of it has been explored. For example, I recently saw a BBC Reel about Svalbard, which is between the North Pole and Norway. It was a very remote place and, listening to the diverse people living or working there, nothing in their backgrounds would have brought them that far north. But something so unreal, so beautiful, did.
And I did not think I'd find that! Now, you all know that I cannot travel much and do not do it well. Think of the power of the internet, with information at your fingertips. After verifying the source, can you imagine what you can learn? What you can see?
So far, it has gotten me excited to visit places. Most of them are up north, like Svalbard and Alaska. Some are remote, in South America and in Germany and Poland. I want to see libraries, remote churches and oceans. The world is wide and bright, and we should feel honored to have that so close to us.
Not everything around you is always going to be your preference. When you step out of a comfort zone, you might find something else you like. But make sure you always have a way to step back. You do not want to always be stuck...unless you really like it.
And I think that is my favorite part of life: always learning.
Namaste!
