Last week I bought two containers of protein powders for my morning smoothie. Two vanilla ones- my favourite!
When I got home I was really disappointed to find I had accidentally bought one vanilla and one chocolate. CHOCOLATE! No! I didn’t want chocolate.
I diligently used half of each for the next few mornings with one thought in mind: I’ve got to get THROUGH this.
But then something interesting happened. I started to love the chocolate flavour.
So much so that I slowly phased out the vanilla flavour and used ONLY chocolate.
Now, this all might seem trivial and you might be wondering “why am I reading about this guy’s breakfast smoothie”?
Well I learned a valuable lesson. You might like the chocolate flavour.
Our job repeatedly is to make space for the possibility that there is a better alternative.
Inside of comfort and routine we can get hypnotised into thinking this is the best way. And it may well be. But sometimes chocolate ends up being better.
I’ve loved my breakfasts the past week and on my most recent shopping trip I bought only chocloate flavour.
Make space for chocolate, everyone.
