I had to pick between two coffee shops last Tuesday and it changed my whole month

I was running late for work and had to choose between my usual spot, The Daily Grind, or this new place called Bean There I'd never tried. I picked the new one on a whim and ended up sitting next to a guy named Mark who works at the graphic design firm I've been trying to get into. We just talked about the weather at first, but he ended up looking at my portfolio on my phone and gave me his card. Has anyone else met someone important just by changing up a tiny daily habit?

That "whim" choice is wild, makes you wonder how many chances we miss by sticking to the same routine every day.

Call it a whim, but that was a real need.

Ever try a different grocery store? I was in a rush and went to the one across town. Ended up chatting with the person in line who turned out to be my now-landlord. My old place had a leak and I was desperate. That random trip basically saved me from a real headache.
