“What if your greatest stories are waiting for their first chapter?”
For a more reflective, inspiring one:
“The familiar is comfortable, but the ‘first time’ is where you truly meet yourself. It’s in that delicious mix of nerves and excitement that we remember what it feels like to be fully alive.”
For a simple, powerful question:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and then go and try it for the very first time.”

What’s Waiting for Your “First Time”?

Have you ever stopped and wondered, “What’s something I’ve never tried?” Not in a daunting, bucket-list kind of way, but with a spark of genuine curiosity. That question is a little key, and it can unlock a door to a more vibrant, interesting life.

Think about it. Remember the pure, unedited joy of a childhood first? The first time you rode a bike without training wheels, that wobbly, glorious feeling of freedom? Or the first time you tasted your favourite food? That magic doesn’t have an age limit. It’s just waiting for us to invite it back in.

So, what’s been whispering to you from the wings of your imagination?

Maybe it’s something creative you’ve always admired from afar. What if you signed up for that pottery class? Yes, you! The one who claims to be “all thumbs.” Imagine the cool, squishy clay under your fingers, the quiet focus of the wheel, and the sheer, hilarious wonkiness of your first mug. It’s not about becoming a master; it’s about the joy of making something from nothing.

Or perhaps it’s a flavour adventure. Have you ever tried a cuisine you can’t even pronounce? Walk into that little family-run restaurant you always pass by and order the dish with the most intriguing name. Let your taste buds go on a holiday without a passport. The worst that can happen is you discover you don’t like durian, and hey, that’s a story in itself!

It doesn’t have to be grand. It can be beautifully simple.

Have you ever:

· Gone for a walk with no destination?
· Volunteered at an animal shelter just to shower some puppies with love?
· Tried a dance workout in your living room, with zero grace and 100% enthusiasm?
· Listened to a podcast about a topic you know nothing about?
· Started a conversation with a stranger in a coffee shop?

Every single one of these “firsts” is a tiny rebellion against the mundane. It’s a message you send to your own brain: “I am still growing. I am still discovering.”

That little flutter of nerves you feel? That’s the feeling of being alive! It’s the same energy that existed right before all your now-favourite things became your favourites.

So, let’s make a pact. This week, let’s all do one thing—just one small, lovely thing—for the very first time. Don’t do it for the Instagram post. Do it for the giggle that bubbles up when you get it wrong. Do it for the quiet pride when you get it right. Do it for the simple, brilliant thrill of remembering that life is a giant playground, and we are all still very much allowed to play.

What will your first time be? I can’t wait to hear about it
