How a Broken Pair of Headphones Can Make You Feel GOOD

My old earplug headphones broke the other day. I had those things for about 2 or 3 years...the apple ones that come with the iPod. So, it was time for a replacement. I do have a biggg pair of headphones,top of the line sound and all that. But I really don't use them anymore, so alas it was time for a new pair of those small ones.

I wanted the same exact Apple earplugs. I went to Best Buy...no luck. They were selling $40 Apple headphones with a microphone or something crazy. No thanks. Went to Target, and also didn't see the earplugs. Without thought or hesitation, I saw a nice pair of Sony earplugs for only $10. They weren't the white Apple ones (these were black) , but I've had Sony headphones in the past. I grabbed it, and have been happy since. The sound is a bit better on my new ones, and they're more comfortable too. I don't miss the white Apple ones.

What I'm trying to get to is this: sometimes in life, things happen. Things break,people come and go..and sometimes, we have to respond with change. Embracing and accepting change can lead to good things. It's GOOD to go out of your comfort zone, because there's always something new and exciting, and, even better, unknown waiting on the horizon. Why should you try to replace something with the exact same thing, even if it's been serviceable for quite some time, if there's something potentially better out there? And, how would you know if you don't try?

So the next time something goes wrong...maybe your headphones break,maybe a relationship ends,maybe a friend isn't what they seem to be..there's nothing wrong with not dwelling on it, and acting on the embracement of something new.
