Significant change can take place with minor alterations. One small change can lead to drastically different habits, routines, and thought patterns.
In the past few months, I have fallen in love with listening to music. I’ve been exploring so many new artists and genres, finding new albums regularly, and listening more often than ever before. It’s all because of one simple thing:
My friend Matt bought me a speaker for my birthday.
Matt is a big music guy (not a big picture kinda guy though. *inside joke). Matt makes his own music and knows another about high quality sound systems, headphones, and speakers. So when he picked out this speaker, I knew it’d be good, but had no clue how wildly it’d change my life.
From the moment I charged the speaker and connected it to Bluetooth, I was hooked. Up to that point, I’d just listen from my phone or use my cheap ear buds, but when I heard the quality difference, I was playing everything. Any chance I got to listen to music in my apartment, I would, and long story short, this was the beginning of my music discovery.
After a couple months with that speaker, I needed good headphones too, so guess who I turned to? Now I’m listening to excellent quality music at the gym and on my walks. I can’t get enough.
I think when Spotify Wrapped comes out, my listening minutes will be more than double what they were last year and that’s pretty rad to me
What does this mean for you? Those seemingly insignificant choices and changes you make in your life can have a massive effect that you couldn’t anticipate. This is why it’s so important to change it up often, try new things, explore new hobbies, and go against the status quo.
If you continue doing what you’ve always done, you’ll continue seeing the results you’ve always seen. If something isn’t working for you or you’re not happy with an area of your life, lock in on it and make some changes. Test the waters with new techniques and see what happens.
You never know what could happen when you give something new a try.
