“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Maybe this quote is both an invitation and a warning. Once you see more, you can’t unsee it. Once you learn more, you can’t pretend you don’t know. So if your mind is going to be stretched anyway, be intentional about what stretches it. Seek out people, places, and problems in your community that make you just a little uncomfortable in the best way—a conversation that challenges your assumptions, a book that makes you rethink the world or your work, a new idea that rearranges your sense of what’s possible.
What is one new idea you’re willing to let stretch you today?
