Why you should leave your bubble

Living in a bubble has a few pitfalls.

For starters, by keeping everything else out, you are trapping yourself inside walls.

These walls will lead to isolation, and you will miss things going on in the world around you.

We all need to experience things that build our connection with those around us.

Life’s experiences help us grow and often provide us with an opportunity for a creative outlet.

Think about that sad song that you relate to.

Would the artist have been able to write it and sing it with so much passion had they not experienced the heartbreak that came along first?

There are a few things you can do to break outside your bubble on your own terms—before it eventually bursts.

First, be humble and recognize that just because you believe something is best, doesn’t mean it is.

There are other points of view out there, and we should be open to hearing them.

By putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, you can experience things beyond yourself.

This will help you build empathy.

Empathy and humility are excellent human traits that can only be nurtured by stepping outside your bubble.
