Dear friend

I'm starting to dislike the expression don't fix what's not broken. I kind of wish people would stop saying it. I think it's human nature to not just fix what's broken, but to improve on things that aren't. Just because something works doesn't mean it's working the best possible way it can. Black and white TV wasn't broken, was it? Colour TV still came into existence. Candles and oil lamps worked well, the light bulb just made everything so much easier.

It's just something we're wired to do. People like to build. We like to create. We like to improve on things. And so it should be with everything we experience in life. I recently proclaimed I want to purchase Wi-Fi smart light bulbs. Light bulbs that you can dim, brighten and even change to any colour, all by using a smartphone. Is it necessary? No. But should that stop anyone from buying them? Absolutely not. It's a very innovative and creative idea and only improves our experiences.

I urge you. If you're willing and able to improve something in your life, but you're stuck in the mentality to stick with what you have because it's fine the way it is, do it. Build something. Make or buy something you don't need, but something you want.

It's the little extras that make life exciting and worth living.
