“I choose to live by choice, not by chance.”
—  Miyamoto Musashi

Each day is filled with opportunities. The problem is that sometimes we don’t see those opportunities because we’re distracted by the daily grind. We miss what could be because we only see what we expect.

Well, maybe it’s time to start expecting the unexpected.

It starts with the realization that you have choices. You don’t have to do the same thing you’ve always done. Just because other people do it that way, doesn’t mean you have to follow suit. If only you do what everybody else does, you’ll always be average.

So start shaking things up. Try chocolate instead of vanilla. Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe you won’t. Either way, you just changed your story.
