Once upon a time there was a little  motivated mind. It had many friends,  

to 不定詞

a stable job and plenty of  good ideas to change the world.

To secure a good life for itself,  the little mind got up early,  

dressed smartly, picked up that  coffee and arrived first at work.

As time passed, the mind got so good at its  routine that it got up automatically, dressed  

up blindly, picked up that coffee without thinking  and worked without having to pay much attention.

But then the mind got so good at  it all, that it stopped learning,  

and as a result got bored, and sick and bitter.

The little mind tried  everything. Expensive clothes,  

fine dining, drugs, therapy, scuba  and skydiving… But nothing worked.

The little mind kept on losing weight, and  willpower until the day it didn't get up…  

didn't dress up... didn't pick up that  coffee... and didn't show up to work..

It was then when it decided things had to change!  

Not all over a sudden, because that  never works, but in small steps.

It started by getting up earlier, just by 5  minutes. It started dressing up differently,  

but only a bit. It got that coffee, but not  to go and it began working a little less.

With every day that went by, the little mind  got a bit more time — time to try new things,  

time to talk to strangers, time to work one  some of those crazy ideas to change the world.

And with every new experience the mind  became stronger. It found a new routine,  

made new friends, and developed a new passion.

Eventually the little mind even found a soulmate,  made a real family, and started a new job. Every  

once in a while, it looks at the fruits of its  labor - one of which is this little story.

From years of research we know that in  order to get through life effectively,  

we need rigid routines, mental  biases and muscle memory.

However, we also know that to find our passion, to  fall in love, and to make peace with who we are,  

we sometimes need to slow down and  break the routines we have built.

How about you? Did you change your life,  

find your true passion and fall in love with  something or someone? Share your thoughts in  

the comments below. Our little minds are very  much looking forward to reading your story!
