Deep Dive with Josh: “What topic could you give an hour-long presentation on with little to no preparation?”

My presentation would be called “Expand Your Horizons—why doing something different is so healthy”. Getting myself and others out of our comfort zones has always been a passion of mine. From trying new food or trying out a new sport, to traveling to a developing country, I’ve always been eager to stretch the boundaries of what feels safe and normal. Where some might see too much danger, too risky of a plan, or too strange an idea compared to the status quo, I see how the benefits of venturing into the unknown can grow confidence and understanding of the world around us. It’s easy to forget that our perspective of the world is as unique as we are. The world is wonderfully diverse and recognizing how small our part is in the grand vision reduces the stress and expectations we put on ourselves and allows us to have fun and appreciate the experiences we are given. Not every choice is going to end up with safe or positive results, but the value is in the challenges themselves. Go out and get uncomfortable!
