The Case of the Bright Red Shoes

September 30, 2021 Marnie Hol

One morning I woke up and after I got dressed, I was left with the choice of what shoes to wear. My bright sparkly red shoes, or my practical black round toed shoes. Of course, my red sparkly shoes weren't as comfy as my sensible black shoes, but they were definitely more fun to wear. So, the dilemma was comfort and practical, or fun and uncomfortable? And there lies the paradox of life. Sometimes to bring more fun into our lives we must feel a little uncomfortable, until we've stretched ourselves a little. If we always wear the practical black comfortable shoes, they will serve their purpose, but they aren't actually fun and there's never a change with them. So, I could think of the next decision I have to make as ‘shall I make the comfy familiar easier black shoe choice, or could I make the sparkly red fun shoe choice, and be OK with a little discomfort until I get used to the new experience’? Seems like the red shoes win!
