Exploration and Experimentation
For about 9 months, Silas was into WWE. Like obsessed.
Toys were bought. Mornings were spent watching old matches on YouTube. Events were attended. Research on wrestlers was done. Wrestling matches were held in the pool and basement. WWE 2k26 was played.
I thought I had a lifelong WWE fan on my hands.
And then I noticed a change.
The toys sat. Mornings were now being spent watching old NBA and Olympic basketball games on YouTube. Questions about athletes were now about NBA players. A basketball was always close by. 1-on-1 games were played in the basement and H-O-R-S-E outside. NBA 2k26 was purchased.
I now have (maybe) a lifelong basketball fan on my hands.
This isn’t the first time Silas has gotten into something, only to move onto another after awhile—both Roman and Leo did this as well.
And I love it.
Silas is exploring his interests. When he feels called to something, he goes all-in, fully immersing his Self into it.
We should all be doing this. There is a reason we are called to new things, and that reason will never be known until we allow our Self to explore and experience.
Maybe we find something that changes our life.
Or maybe we spend some time learning what it is like to be a different version of our Self only to confirm that version is not the one we’re supposed to be.
Exploration and experimentation is healthy.
They also make life more fun and exciting.
So take notes from Silas and dive into that new thing that has your interest, but you haven’t allocated any time to.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
