You can try a new way of singing a song you’ve performed for years, a new way of showing your family your love for them, or a new recipe. Don’t just play the licks you know.

I'll ride the wave, where it takes me!

Dive headfirst into things without being too attached to the results

I like to take things as they come and, as much as possible, not force anything.

At the same time, I love what I'm doing right now and could see doing this for a very long time.

I try not to plan ahead. I just kind of try to think in the moment. I always believe everything will work out the way it's supposed to.

Life is full of surprises and and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure-do it well, enjoy it-and then, not now, think about what comes next.

Stay fluid and roll with those changes. Life is just a big extended improvisation.
