"Do you always know what’s coming at you in life?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

A woman sent a box of chocolates as a Christmas gift to a friend with a child who’s in first grade so he’s just starting to read. The box of chocolates had a dozen or more different varieties and included a list of the various kinds of chocolates along with a picture of what you were about to eat.

Well, the little boy decided he wanted to read the names of all of these different kinds of chocolates. So he asked his mom to help him read the flavors and match them with the pictures. They had a lot of fun doing that.
But what was even more fun was his tasting flavors he had never experienced and deciding whether or not he liked them. Of course, his mom had to eat some that he took a bite out of and didn’t like.

She had as much fun as he did because even as he learned to read the flavors and knew what flavor he was about to taste, it was still a surprise for him as he learned what he did and didn’t like.

Taste everything with the same sense of awe and wonder this little guy did—even if you think you know what it is—as you make a life today.
