Every Experience Is Worth Having

July 12, 2021 No Comments

Do you feel this urge to experience life to the fullest? Do you feel like you need to do more in life?

A lot of people have a bucket list with a lot of great things on that list. And they chase those things desperately. “I don’t need to buy a new car or have a fancy job, I want to have great experiences.”

When I stopped my habit of consumerism and got out of the rat race, that was my mentality. I was reading philosophy and personal development books, which gave me the inspiration to live differently.

I’m not alone. Millions of people all over the world are saying goodbye to traditional beliefs and prefer to live differently. They want to travel the world, enjoy the company of others, hike in the Andes, watch air balloons in Turkey, go surfing, you name it.

We’re chasing experiences. But we’re missing out on the real experience of life.

What I Would Do If My Net Worth Went to $0

Let’s do a thought experiment to demonstrate the steps one can take to build financial stability in their life. Imagine that you wake up tomorrow and your net worth is zero.

It’s not an uncommon thought. While it’s not very likely you’ll lose everything, there are many people who live in a perpetual state of anxiety about their careers and finances. And that fear is worse than actually starting over.

If you go to bed and wake up every day with an uneasy feeling in your gut that tells you life is uncertain, I hope the steps in this article will give you a roadmap. The majority of our fears are unwarranted.

One of those fears is, “What if I lose all my money?” I had that fear for many years. This thought experiment helped me to overcome it because I now have a plan. Here it is.

The More Options You Have, The Happier You Are

July 1, 2021 No Comments

Over the years, I’ve experienced a direct correlation between the number of options I have in life and my happiness.

The more options I have for my career, the better work I can do. The more options I have for spending my free time, the less I cling to people and activities.

In short, if I can choose what to do with my time at any given moment, I’m happy. It doesn’t necessarily matter what I do. What matters is that I have a choice.

The importance of this concept is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned about happiness in the modern age.

Past, Present, and Future: Use Time Perspectives to Live Better

June 28, 2021 No Comments

What does time mean to you? Depending on who you’ll ask, you get one of the following answers:

Time is money
Time is love
Time is play
Time is work
Time is a thing of the past

Your answer tells a lot about how you spend your time. That makes me think about something.

Why do we often carefully think before we spend our money but don’t do the same when we spend our time?

Do we value money more than time? If you look at all the inspirational quotes on social media, you would think everyone is conscious of their time. You often hear things like, “time is your most important asset,” and, “you can earn back money but you can’t earn back time.”
