Why Your Life Needs Novelty, No Matter Your Age (4)

And a powerful first experience changes the way you see yourself and the way you see the world.

Going to Big sky changed the way that I saw the world, the way that I saw myself and what I wanted to do in the world.

Instead of waiting for my cycle of experiences to repeat themselves, doing the same things over and over,

I decided to go out into the world and collect powerful first experiences.

And a powerful first experience can be anything.

It's all about intention.

The most important part of a powerful first experience or a PFE, is intention.

Anyone can have them.

You don't have to have capital or have started an organization.

You don't even have to be a G.

You just have to be thoughtful about two things.

One, do something you haven't done but have always wanted to do.

And what's important here, no matter what you choose to do -- skydiving out of a plane,

learning a new language, switching your wardrobe -- whatever you decide to do, has to have a certain level of risk in it for you.

It's about courage.

The courage to get on a plane and go to a state where most people don't look like me in order to experience something as simple as making a snow angel.

Second thing, switch up your environment, change the stimuli and please try to be bold.

So you may be a singer, but maybe you sing on a crowded train in New York City or in the beautiful streets of Venice, Italy.

Imagine what the world would be like if we decided to share and exchange in more powerful first experiences.

Would we feel more loved?

Would we feel more connected?

Would we feel more brave?

Most importantly, would we feel more human?

Each and every one of us has so much to experience if we allow ourselves the gift of another powerful first experience.

My only ask, if you decide to go to Montana for the first time, please don't forget your horse.

Thank you.
