The Firsts

How often have you heard someone say, "Well that's a first!" Or maybe they say, "Well, I had a first today!" Firsts are fascinating events. Some of them are powerful enough not only to stay with us in memory, but sometimes they change our lives. Probably because of the brain structure, the role of the amygdala, we remember a lot of our firsts because they leave an impact of some kind. I'm wondering if reflecting on those meaningful "firsts" in our lives helps us to know ourselves just a bit better.

Thanks for listening.
