“…The conditions that consistently force the brain to rewire itself are when it confronts something novel. Novelty equals learning…” [Neuroscientist, Gregory Berns] We need to keep exposing ourselves to new situations, new people, new ideas, new subjects, new experiences if we want to continue to learn and grow. Question: Have you tried anything new lately?

New ideas, or I should say ideas put into a different light. I've been reading C.S. Lewis lately. He's definitely made me pause several times while reading to consider what he just said. Things I've known but just haven't thought about quite the same way.
Yes, C.S. Lewis had a creative, interesting, way of putting things. And yet he was precise and his thinking was razor-sharp. He can get you thinking new thoughts, that's for sure. That's very good, Mary! Reading C.S. Lewis is an excellent way to stretch and grow.
