Because we bought it or because we want a new one&#8230;maybe!<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll tell you a secret: there is no excuse to keep it, if you don&#8217;t like it, choose another one!<\/p>\n<p>I know it&#8217;s not always as simple as with books (many of which also have a happy ending) but what if you start seeing everything in black and white, even if you&#8217;re not part of an old photograph?<br \/>\nYou know, they have their charm because they smell of experience, history, friendship and family\u2026old pics I mean!<\/p>\n<p>Time is the greatest gift we&#8217;ve ever received, so why waste it doing things we don&#8217;t like or don&#8217;t care about? Why regret lost possibilities?<br \/>\nThere are only two letters \u201cno\u201d &#8230; or rather \u201cNO\u201d. Doesn&#8217;t your book sound interesting? Get another one. Is the color of the wall monotonous? Choose a more lively one and so on and then, step by step, it will be easier and more fun!<\/p>\n<p>When colors did not exist yet, artists used pigment powders to paint&#8230;to emphasize that there is always a means that allows you to reach your goals, even if it&#8217;s not perfect or it might seem difficult.<\/p>\n<p>And how many times you can read about it, how many people can tell you, it will never be as satisfying as when you decide to change something, to take the first step\u2026the first of a long series, to have new experiences, to satisfy your curiosity and to feel that there is nothing to lose!<\/p>\n<p>So my dear reader, start your change &#8230; and your challenge!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-170\" src=\"https:\/\/socialna-akademija.si\/volunteering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190719_113110-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"escape the ordinary\" width=\"379\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialna-akademija.si\/volunteering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190719_113110-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socialna-akademija.si\/volunteering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190719_113110-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><br \/>\nAngela<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all probably have a book on our bedside table that we read before sleep and maybe we struggle to finish because we don&#8217;t like it or because it&#8217;s boring.
