An Experiment

"Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are those well known experiments that little kids perform. The young lad with a magnifying glass seeing just how much sunlight an ant can endure. Or the little girl trying to figure out just how far she can kick a soccer ball over the fence.

Each of these acts are the mind trying out new things, figuring out what works and what doesn't. Life is pretty much like that regardless of the amount of formal education we achieve. We step out of safety of knowledge onto a ledge of uncertainty.

But without this urge to try new things, a door to opportunity will always be a barrier to us even when it is open. Sometimes we simply have to go on faith and learn through experience. Not always will it work out the way we had planned, but you will have learned what doesn't work for your life.

So experiment with chance by stepping out of your normal and experience something different. You may very well be surprised by the outcome.
