Week Twenty-Nine: Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week “Nuevo”

This is Jesse Sample. As time goes by, we find things that suit us, and we tend to do them more. I can go to Hannaford and attain all my favorite snack foods and walk out the door in 7 mins. No doubling back. Start with the Pepperoni and work your way to the freeze pops. I also go running a few times a week and like to have a glass of water on my nightstand when I go to sleep. I listen to Breaking Points with Krystal and Saager 5 days a week.

We all have our go-to’s. And it’s only natural. These well-worn paths save us from being paralyzed by an infinite number of choices at any given point in our day. We go with cool ranch.

But sometimes it is essential for us to venture off the well-worn path and see what else is out there. Other people live very different lives and there is a wealth of perspective if you’re looking. It is so refreshing when you step out of your normal routine and realize you are just a passenger on this big, beautiful world. You are not your habits, or your biases, or your beliefs, or your fears.

Sometimes, I walk through my life and assume I got it all figured out but what if I don’t? Might that be a gift of some sort. What if the universe is a hell of a lot more generous than good ole fallible me? Maybe we short change ourselves when we stick to what we know.

Thanks to all of you wild cards listening to RadioRadioX. This is the Freak of the Week “Nuevo”
