It's easy to get the same thing at your favorite restaurant. You know you'll be pleased. You know what to expect. You know what it's supposed to taste like.
The hard choice is going for something different. Not just to do it. If you don't try something new, you may never discover something that is better. Maybe you think what you've been eating all along is the best thing....until you try the new thing. Then the new thing, which was on the menu all along, becomes your new favorite. It's always been good though. It didn't start being good when you ordered it. It was good long before that.
We have to make sure we don't fall into the trap of going for the "safe" order. Sometimes, we find a gem. Sometimes we find something that is much more than what we had been having. It has been there all along. We just needed to make the choice. Take the risk. Jump.
Life is too much like that. Instead of trying something new, we go with what we have always known. When we try something new, we are allowing the opportunity for better results. Yes, there is risk that it may not be as good. But, you won't know until you try something new.
