Duck...Duck...Goose!

Law #10: Only once you've claimed your space does anyone more space show up.

I think we've all been here at some point in time.  You're in a large parking lot packed to the brim and you're looking for a spot.  You have to cruise through the entire lot for a good 15 minutes before you find ANY space.  You're not to happy with were the spot is but since there aren't any more you happily take it.  Then it happens.  As you're walking to your destination you spot an empty spot...then another...then another.  Where were all these spots when you were looking?

Wanna have some more fun?  Go back to your car and try to get that spot you just saw.  It'll probably be gone.  Oh well, back to where...oh, now that spot's gone too.

I think that's kind of a metaphor for life.  We spend a long time looking for a place to fit in and not finding it.  When we find a place that feels comfortable, opportunities start springing up.  But these opportunities demand you give up your currently held comfortable spot.  So what do you do?  Do you drop your comfort zone and check out this new spot or do you stay put?

You weren't looking for advice in the post were you?  Because I don't have any.  I'm just making an observation. Either stick with your spot or try the other.
