I don't wanna live another life, cause this one's pretty nice! Living it up - who needs to go to sleep when I got you next to me?

Why you need to poke your bubble a little

Over my 35 years I have encountered many kinds of people from all kinds of walks of life.  Some have stayed in my life and others have been passing moments serving their purpose and then moving on from my life and further into theirs.  In all of these instances I have learned one thing to be true:  as much as people say they don't like change, they don't realize how much they are an actual reflection of change.

Imagine for a moment that we never changed, never evolved, never learned anything new, never improved ourselves or the lives of others.  If we never changed, the fact is we would all be walking around in diapers/nappies and instead of reaching for drink on a Friday after work, we'd be reaching for a soother/dummy still.  How silly is that visual in your head?  Frankly it cracks me up pretty good.  Now I realise some of you might think diapers and pacifiers sound pretty good, but I know a few people my senior who are dreading this eventual day (of course there are some that are openly embracing this prospect).

I know that you're thinking what I'm proposing is positively preposterous but hang in with me a bit more please.

What got me to go overseas was a friend who knew me very well. They suggested this change which, frankly, was the scariest thing with which I've ever been proposed.  Something in me said I needed to do this.  At 25, I wouldn't have known many people who would have listened to that little voice that said, 'Go!'.  But I did.  I changed my coding.

The thing I've learned about going overseas and living the life that's been my misfortune since returning home (once it's all fixed I'll blog about it then), is that people in developed countries need to start poking their security bubbles a wee bit.  Get curious about what happens when it bursts and what you do to survive that new world.  Even in my absolute worst moments of being home, I still have the ability to compare with an alternate reality and have a certainty that life could still be far worse if I weren't a Canadian citizen.

Going overseas and experiencing different cultures makes you a far more intriguing person. You add something different to a conversation than just sharing pictures of your cats and dogs, taking pictures of your meals and sharing them for the whole world to see on some social medium. You will develop humility in knowing that your life is far richer than you ever thought before.  You will be able to challenge someone in a way that will help them grow, you will be able to open people's eyes to an entirely different reality and make them want to contribute to the world more positively, all because you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes.

The western world is in such a state of flux socially and needs, in my rather honest opinion, an immediate dose of kindness and eye-opening; the best way I can think for this to happen is for people to shake up the contents of their bubbles and live another life. Not in a comfy resort either.

So go on. Extend your middle finger and start poking your bubble, and use your index finger to plot a map for social betterment.

     We don't always get it right so start the change.
