I interviewed a girlfriend about how she buys produce. I asked her what deemed something worthy for her to buy. What inspections does it have to pass?
She informed me that she first looks at the fruit. Does it have any obvious bruises? Then she feels the fruit, for any wear or tear, squeezes it a bit -if it’s too hard then it is not ripe. She said she then smells it, if it smells really strongly then you know its super ripe and if you buy it, you have to eat it right away. I think we can all agree that we go through almost the exact same motions.
When you make decisions in your life what do you do to deem something worthy of you and your time? As I was thinking about her response I had to wonder, is there something wrong with our first approach? Perhaps we are missing out on an amazingly delicious piece of fruit merely because it looks a little bruised. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Maybe the same principal can be applied to our lives. It could be that we take to much for face value, and forgo the next steps. If so, we could be missing something delicious.
