dare to look silly
On Tuesday I arrived at Oiselle HQ to the exciting news that Jamie Lee Curtis had been spotted on the Today show in the Oiselle Big Run tee! Of course, I dropped everything to watch the interview. And found it very inspiring. It was all about at kids book she wrote about 'Firsts'. She explained she was inspired by the realization that parents are always encouraging kids to try new thing, take risks, be brave ... and yet in their (our) own lives they aren't challenging themselves to do what they ask of their kids. Read more on the Oiselle running blog.
I don't have kids, but the message of trying new things speaks to me. I have come to the realization (in my ripe old age of 30) that remaining curious, exploring, taking risks and even looking silly is the key to happiness and remaining young in heart and spirit. I constantly have to remind myself to push outside my comfort zone. It's always worth it when I do.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
