Be Adventurous With Your Mouth

This entry is a less concrete goal than any of the previous, but is instead a goal that continuous throughout life. My mom likes to remind me that when I was a kid my "life motto" used to be "give food a chance." Although it may have been just a little kids silly phrase, I still like to live by that motto. I like to and would like to continue to try many different kinds of food that I come across. To this day I have yet to try some of the more exotic foods such as alligator, ostrich, or even guinea pig, but I have yet to refuse to try any food in front of me.
More common foods such as sushi and eel were my first steps in exploring new taste buds. Trying however does not imply liking in all circumstances. I found I love sushi, but could barely swallow one bite of eel. I will however try eel again next time I see it. Your taste buds "recycle" themselves every 7 years so I always am willing to "give food [another] chance" every so often.
This is a goal every person can easily undertake without much effort. Being adventurous and trying new foods can help you to find things that may become your new favorite foods. The steps don't have to start big, even buying "weird" fruit in the grocery store like horn melons (which have seeds like a pomegranate but taste vaguely of cucumber) can start you on the right path.
