It is no secret that I am continually working on myself and growing as a person. If you had known me in high school and my early days of college and compare it to now, it would be evident that I have stepped out of some comforts. In fact, I had a professor who would often tell me to “live a little, Kayla” because I could more times than not be a buzzkill. There was no interest in trying new things and being brave in my independent ways. I have since learned the errors of the narrowminded ways. Now, I am slowly but surely eager for my next adventure outside of my comfort zone. It is hard telling the places I will go moving forward in my new take on life. It makes me excited to try something new or meet people my ordinary path would not take me. Even though this lifestyle change did not require a major upheaval of things, it was significant enough to make me think differently and appreciate the new perspectives. I am doing things I never thought I was capable of doing or even thought I wanted to do. It is amazing how such a shift in a thought process can broaden opportunities. I have been abundantly blessed by the changes I have made in adapting to a more care-free and spontaneous attitude. There is no telling where this path will take me in life, but I am sure glad I decided to take a turn for the unknown to break the cycle of being stuck in a rut for the rest of my life. I am far from seeing this journey’s close, and it excites me even more that I do not know what is next. Before this realization, not knowing would have driven me bonkers, but I am content with embracing an element of surprise. My life’s goal is never to stop being a learner and to ensure I maintain that status, I have to be willing to go wherever my next classroom is located. The only place that growth flourishes will be at limits’ end. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2018
