Learn and discover

A person learns throughout their life. Some people like learning just by living life from day to day, some people prefer actually getting out in the world and exploring the environment around them. Some people like doing academic learning, and learning about life that way.

We all have different ways of learning and discovering, but in my opinion, the best way to learn and discover is to get out there and do things, or if you can't, use the internet to connect to the world around you. With the internet nowadays, a person has the world at their fingertips! Go and use it! And while you're learning, you might discover that you have a passion for something. And that's the time to grab opportunity with both hands.

Sometimes it is scary if you're starting something new, and you don't know whether you're going to make it, or if you're going to crash. One rule regarding that is don't take on more than you feel you can handle. If you can handle what you've been given, you can try taking on a bit more. Don't try and dive into the deep end, because you will crash if you can't handle what you've been given.

And always have a backup plan, because if Plan A fails, you're going to need a Plan B. Prepare in advance for 'in case'. Some things hit you very suddenly, but there are some things that might have been coming for awhile that you refused to see and refused to plan for. And if you've had the hindsight to prepare, then nothing should stop you from living life if something does happen on the way.

And don't ever think that you don't have control over your life. You have quite a bit of control, so use it...and wisely. ; )

Being Generous

A person always finds an excuse not to be generous: not enough time, no money, the 'I've got better things to do', the 'It's not worth it'...and so the list goes on.

People are too wrapped in themselves nowadays to be generous. And you don't have to do a lot to be generous. It can be something really small. And if you decide to be generous, get a group of people that support your cause and ignore the naysayers. All that can be done for this going-downhill-world is people trying to make it a better place. A place to start is by being generous. Make time for the things you want to do, and help out where you can, and as much as you can.

We all want to leave our mark in the world...hopefully in a positive way! Try to inspire the people around you to get involved with your generous cause. Maybe it's one of your dreams to make the world a better place. If it is, do as much as you're able to without wearing yourself down.

And if there comes a day where you just feel it isn't worth it, get your support group together to help lift you up, and then carry on.

There's nothing that can stop you if you're on a positive roll most of the time. You might get even further than you could have possibly hoped. And keep on believing that you will make a positive change, even if it's just for one person.
