Sometimes you get so comfortable thinking of yourself in a certain way or doing things a certain way you don’t realize it may not be the best thing for you.

Recently someone suggested to me that I try a new brand of product they really liked. They knew I had been loyal to the brand I used for well over 10 years without even thinking about it. I adamantly replied I would not even consider it. I used what was BEST for me and I “knew” that without any doubt. It worked for me, it was well known and I “loved” it. Why even think about trying something else. Have you ever had a product you felt that loyal too? I mean I was almost indignant when they suggested it to me.

They dropped it, but it stuck in my mind. So yesterday, when no one else was around, I decided to try it. No one would know and I did not have to tell anyone. I was so loyal I did not want anyone to know I even tried another product.

But I did – and it was AWESOME! I fell in love with it. It was much better for me than the one I’d been using. The one I had vigorously defended. Will I use the new one forever, I do not know. I do not have to know.

Now I know we all face decisions, choices and changes much bigger than that of a brand choice. But the point here is the same – have you really considered why you are continuing to stick with the choices you are making. Are you making them because they really are the best or because they are just the same ones you have been making and they are comfortable? Is there something else you could be giving an opportunity that could offer you more in life? Really think about it!
