How to get started on the rest of you life.
Here’s something that rings true. It meshes so well with the theme of this site.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain-
When I read that, I thought to myself how well that statement goes with what I wrote yesterday.
Already I am disappointed with what I haven’t done. Why haven’t I traveled more? Why haven’t I seen more sights? Why haven’t I invested in business?
I’ve made my decision. Have you made yours?
1. Find out what you really want to do.
For the moment, forget about money and a job. If income was not a factor, what would you want to do? Make a list of all the things you would want to do with your time. Mark them in order of importance and desire.
2. Choose the top item. What is stopping you from doing that?
For example, if your top item is to live in Europe, why not start packing your bags and move to Europe? Granted, there are road blocks like a work permit. So get started on it. If it takes a year to get a work permit to work in Europe, then use that year to save for the trip, plan where you will live, what you will do. Maybe find a way to work online.
3. Take action. Or as Nike likes to say, Just Do It.
At this point, your plans are just wishful thinking. You must take action to make them a reality.
