Life is much better when you surprise yourself.

It's why I look to do things I haven't done before, and why I enjoy meeting new people, and why I enjoy going to social events even though I am a full-on introvert.

It's also why I'm doing this year of daily blogging.

Consuming content is nice, but creating content is much sweeter when you've got things to say.

I really didn't have much of a choice in the matter, ultimately. But I don't want to get us into the 'free will' philosophical rabbit hole.

In any case, thank you Seth Godin for encouraging me to do this. I sense it has already begun to pay dividends and eagerly await where it will take us through the rest of this year.
