The little things inside your head

Hitch hiking-

In Europe it's a great and safe way to get around cheap. In America, it's a different story.. you gotta watch out for your safety. I passed a hitchhiker in Placerville tonight and almost stopped. I would have loved the company in the car, but something in me clicked and said keep going! What is it that said this to me? I find it frustrating to be held back from possibly great opportunities, by so many things inside our heads telling us what to do. I think that everyone should try one of theses things that you're not supposed to do every so often. But being in the aware, of course.

I'd like to share one of my recent experiences. I was on a train in Morocco and the guy sitting next to me offered me chocolate and I immediately said no, without thinking. He ended up being a great friend and gave me the coolest birthday I'd ever had. He welcomed me into his home and I met his friends, ate with them and experienced part of what it was like to be Moroccan. It was awesome.

So I encourage you to try it sometime. Let me know how it goes.
