This Just In!

So, this amazing thougt just occured to me, and like most amazing thoughts it is less the idea itself but the amazing fact that I have never seen the big-picture quite so clearly or as meaningfully. The thought is this:

I have never done this before.

Simple yes, but overwhelmingly important. Every day that I wake up I face a new day. Its the newest day in the history of the world. The most recent time and place knowable to the human race, and no one on the planet knows it more or less intimately then I do. I have carte blanche and not having experience has little bearing because no one has had any.

I am enthralled with this thought because it paves the way for me to do other new things. For every time I say no to something either in word or in act on the basis that ‘I haven’t done it before’ I will make an effort to remember that ‘I haven’t done this before’ also applies to every single day of my life.

This basic and on-the-surface unassuming, notion has literally just shifted my outlook. Nifty.
