Today’s Monday Mindset: Never Miss an Opportunity

Welcome to your Monday Mindset where you discover how to be your best so you can give your best.

I’m here with my cousin, Jonathan, and we’re in the water. If you watched the last week’s Monday Mindset, you know I brought my daughter to Toronto in order to let her experience some city driving. We came to visit my cousin and he said, “Hey, why don’t we walk down to the water?” He lives just a minute or two away from the water. He then surprised me and said, “Hey, let’s jump in.”

He’s the brave one but I decided to jump in with him because one of the lessons he taught me in life is never miss the opportunity to have an experience. And so anytime I’m with my family, if we’re driving and we’re on holiday somewhere and we pass a hill with my kids, we love to climb it.

If we see a restaurant, a type of food we’ve never experienced before we try it.

If there’s water to go in, we jump in it.

I think that’s just one of the great things about life to have as many experiences as you possibly can. So, my challenge to you today is if you want to have a richer, more fulfilling life, fill it with as many experiences as you can.

I do my best to never turn down having an experience that somebody invites me to participate in and I think it’s just an amazing way to live life to the full. Put this into practice – take advantage of every experience and opportunity you can.

That’s your Monday Mindset.
