Spring is definitely in the air—and so is change. In the past couple weeks I've been experiencing life with a new perspective. My interests are changing and I'm exploring new experiences like:

• cooking and acrobatics classes
• having random (and good) conversations with total strangers
• going to the local gun range
• butcher classes

You could say I've found a new zest for life and living it. I encourage you to find your zest for life so you can experience happiness like this.

Sure, it's easy for me to say now but how do you find your zest? It's simple, experience one new thing you never would have imagined yourself doing.

Afraid of heights? Go rock climbing at an indoor gym. Don't like cooking? Take a cooking class by yourself. Uncomfortable around people? Have a conversation with someone you've never met before while you're getting lunch.

Once you've taken that first step outside your comfort zone, everything seems easier. So go for it! Challenge yourself and enjoy the moment.
