How to Expand Your World
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
Whenever you make a choice to invite new sights, sounds, tastes, and experiences into your life, your world expands.
If you learn to fly fish, grow tomatoes, train a guide dog, take a class in Japanese Tea Rituals, painting, or writing poetry, your experience of the world becomes a little richer.
One of the great benefits of creating art for me has been the way I look at things. What would have once looked like a dull and bland landscape of endless fields comes alive with variation and depth of color, with 7 shades of yellow and gold.
Another more obvious way to expand your world even more is to travel. It doesn’t have to be anything exotic but the more different the place is than what you are used to, the more your senses are awakened.
Your mind loves comparisons and will search for things that are different and compare similarities as well.
All of these things stimulate your creativity and accumulate treasures of experiences and memories as you learn about yourself in the process.
How will your expand your world?
