The Road not Traveled

"What if I was wrong?"-a great question

The other day I had a great conversation with a friend about choices. His point of view was that he made a choice in life many years ago and settled. Maybe we should not settle?

I believe that settling is very common.  For whatever reason we can come up with, at that time, we choose the less difficult road.  The road that does not lead to a great story.

Unfortunately we only have one life and choosing the safe road mostly makes that one life less memorable.  If every day we choose the safe road then we will end up living a life of settlement.

I am reading a book on habits that mentions a story from a book in which the main character uses dice therapy.  In this therapy the character chooses what to do amongst several choices by rolling a die. This takes one out of their normal pattern.  It definitely would push one to not settle and try different experiences.

In the story it mentions that most of the people around the character had a difficult time adjusting to this change.  I believe that such an experience can make us challenge our normal patterns and get out of or box. This will be uncomfortable for us and for those around us.  But in the end it might be just what we need.

Today's question is:
"Could you follow dice therapy for a month?"
