Live your life
Each of us dreams about paradise places on earth, about sightseeing, traveling. However, let's see
how many of us actually realize our dreams? Traveling is expensive, not everyone can afford it at any time,
but with a little patience you can save money and go into the unknown.
I used to talk to my colleague at work, although I do not like him, he told me one thing, obvious but I
still remember her. "Nobody will live for you and you have only one life" It was something that changed my
approach to myself, indeed many of us just dream about great adventures but do nothing about it. Many of us
just talk about it but after work, they just spend time watching TV series sitting on the couch. What will such
a person remember in 40 years? She will not even remember which movies she has watched. Travel memories
are not forgotten.
Traveling does not have to be as expensive as it seems, we do not have to sleep in a 5 star hotel when we
travel abroad, we do not have to eat dinner in the most expensive restaurant to have fun.
One of the cheapest of my trips was a trip to Italy, I went there with "Bla bla car", the total cost of return
transport is PLN 400. All nights I spent there sleeping in a hostel, in a mixed-race room and I think that was
the best decision I made! Thanks to that I met many wonderful people from all over the world, I had a great time.
In the near future I would like to go to another, far away country for a long time.
Think, have you ever dreamed of living in paradise? Have you never envied people who did it? Think about
what keeps you here? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? Take it with you. Job ? Find the same there. Language ?
Learn a new language, grow! Family? You can always visit.Think about whether you want to sit at home in old age and regret that you did not take all the opportunities
that life gives you. Think about whether you want to remember only hard work and monotony?
Even if you do not want to travel anywhere, start enjoying life. Stop watching TV series that take your time,
leave the house. Meet your friends, jump with a parachute, eat something you have never eaten before.
Just live.

Comments
Almost everyone is afraid to get out of the comfort zone, so few people use the opportunities of life. I'm no exception, because of this I am not happy with the quality of life and the opportunities it gives.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I know very few such people because at 23 almost no one is a workaholic.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
To change the apartment,leave job and start own business that will bring more money and bring moral pleasure.
2. I have a friend for whom is not so much about a career but money are extremely important. He gives tutoring in mathematics almost all days. And all in all it's good but absolutely has no time for anything else. He did not finish the engineer because of these tutorials. He could work 8 hours a day and not 12, then he would really have more time to live.
3. Begin to do the dream job. Buy a new upmarket car. Begin to travel more often with my closest family.
Most people are afraid what would happend if they would say yes to something, some opportunity that might have change their life just because this is something different, something that we cant predict and be prepared for. Many people are in the same place for many many years just because they fear to try something new.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I have met a lot of people that only think about carrier and big businesses that they are in charge of but of course there is the other side where people are just chilling and not worring about everything. Everyone has their own way of living their life and stick to what is important for them, for some its business for others its happiness or something else. The most importnat thing is to find this something.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
Well my plan to enjoy life is simple. Do what you love, with people that you like spending time with and you care about them.
Answering your questions:
1. Yes, I agree that most people do not take advantage of the opportunities that life gives us. But I can't explain why. Probably there are probably many reasons - social diseases, finances and so on. But I think the fear of the unknown predominates
2. There are a lot of people who think that carrier and big business life is very important (or the most important) thing in the life. But partially I can understand them, money are important. They want to live well and prosperously.
3. Hmm, my plan to enjoy life... Travels, travels and a lot of travels! That's what I love so much.
Unfortunately I must agree that many people are afraid of living their lives and they do not use the life to the full extent. We are focused on work, school or simply waste our time like you mentioned on watching series or some trash content on YouTube. But it can be a problem for people with bigger aspirations that couldn't overcome their fear or laziness to do something more. But on the other hand there are people that don't have those "bigger aspirations" and they like it how it is. In conclusion everybody should live their life in their own's desired way.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
Personally I don't know any person of that kind but I like I said before - everyone has own's priorities and if they are comfortable with what they are doing, and if they feel it's their way of living life, than it's 100% ok.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
My plan is to travel a lot because this is what makes me happy, to buy my dream car(s) and to share every moment with people I care the most about.
I know a lot of people who are now more in pursuit of career development than in the development of the spirit. It is a little scary for me that we all fall into wild capitalism so easily. However, everyone wants to live on some level and not be afraid of losing a job, which is understandable.
As I wrote earlier. Everyone falls into professional work. However, I personally can always find a hobby I have not done before. I think that thanks to this I will always find a goal that will be more important to me than just working in a corporation.
I think that many people don't take advantage of the opportunities that live gives them. It is due to a lot of responsibilities that people have - taking care of the family, elder parents, etc. They can't simply throw away things and do what they want, fullfil their dreams. But I think it may be a small percent of the case - many people are just afraid of the changes and won't take a challenge.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
Most of the people I know found balance between career and caring for the self-care, family, etc. I totally understand people who chase the career and focus only on this. Everyone have their priorietes and we shouldn't compare which are better or worse.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
I would like to find a job, where I can fuse my hobbies and things that are interesting for me. This kind of job wouldn't feel like a sad responsibility. It'll be beatiful to go everyday to the place where I can come true.
It's kind of true. A lot people tend to like to live they simple life and they are afraid of taking risk or going out from their comfort zone. That's nothing we can do about it. Everyone are directors of their life.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I would say a lot... But worse thing is fact that I know a lot of people who care only about drinking beer or smoking weed. In my opinion they are even worse than "rats from companies".
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
Travelling and exploring world, cities especially. Having a little achievements in sport. Being an expert at "that" thing you do everyday. Having amazing love story. Having family. Enjoying epic movies, books, or even games. In others words - do everything you are able to do ;)
Great article! Simple things, but not all comply with them. I agree, to some extent, each of us is like that. So many opportunities and chances, so many ways to develop scenarios, but not all even make a choice. It seems to me, according to the latest observation, the ability to enjoy life is a talanate, and it turns out that not everyone has it, but this talent can be acquired over time. Well, of course, the sooner the better!
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
In my environment there are people for whom career and all that is connected with work is the meaning of life for them. They have their own priorities and attitudes, I can not judge them. Just sometimes we remind each other that besides the work there are a lot of interesting things in this World!
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
It seems to me, in part, the enjoyment of life is just to forget about the plans, and about everything that can immerse you in some state where you have to tense up. And enjoying life is enjoying the moment. At least just happy to breathe in and out)
In my opinion many people do not that advantages because they prefer to stay in their comfort zone. I think the real adventure starts just after leaving comfort zone. Only then you feel alive and start experience. It can me harder for some people, but this is natural process to overcome our weaknesses and self improvement.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I know many of them. I noticed that they often run away to work because of their personal problems. They even don't know when work starts to be too much important, and they neglect family, friends or health.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
My recipe for happiness is to take every possible opportunity and go out from our comfort zone. To spend time with family and have fun with friends, find hobby and of course realize yourself. That's how I want to live my life.
2. I don’t know such person, but I am afraid that after finishing the masters degree I would become such a person. It is not because I want it to be that way, but I know from my experience that I won’t maintain contact with my current friends and career would become the only thing that I can look after. Traveling is amazing for sure, but doing it alone probably isn’t such a fun.
3. I have no plan to enjoy life. We will see what future is going to bring. Honestly, I feel anxious about falling into routine and not being happy at all. Maybe I should exit my comfort zone 😊
When it comes to traveling, the same applies. The costs, what will happen, What if I save those money for a bigger trip later?.. The nature of such doubts is obvious, and people, who are not affected by them might even be called relentless at some point.
I would say that most of people are afraid to take the first step. I think in most cases it has something to do with fear of failure. People are afraid of getting out of their comfort zone and risk something. I also had these problems but I am at that point of life when I try to stop it and start taking risks. Right now I am thinking about leaving this country after finishing my Master’s Degree and moving somewhere else, maybe somewhere in Scandinavia.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I don’t really think that I have many friends that think that their career is the most important thing in their life. I would say that they are aware of the fact that they are still relatively young and that they can spend this time on something else than just working. For example I have one friend that wants to go away to New Zealand and spend half a year there. Of course, he is aware that to survive he has to work but it is not his main
purpose of going there. He is more into traveling and meeting new people.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
I want to have a satisfying job, I think everyone does because at one point in life, working will be very important for your well-being, especially when you start a family that you want to be responsible of. Apart from that I want to live somewhere where I can find peace of mind and I don’t have to travel somewhere far to rest.
There are couple people i know that would pursue career no matter what , leaving kids, families and even sometimes destroying themselves .
My plan to enjoy life is simple create stable environment for me to do whatever i want, if i want to play games for a week i should be able to do so(ideally), if i want to drive a fast car i should be "able" to do so, if i decide i want to go and work on an oil platform i should be able to go to Canada sightseeing i should be able to do so.
Yes, I agree. I think that most people do not take advantage of the opportunities in life, and what’s more depressing is that they aren’t even aware of it.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
Probably most of them, I think that it would be easier to count the ones for whom their careers aren’t the most important.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
Wow that’s a hard question. It’s kind of sad that when I was answering your questions above, I realized that I’m this kind of person. I do not take advantages of opportunities in my life, but your presentation is really motivational. I don’t have any plan… yet ;).
2. I do not know exactly, I know a few.
3. Enjoy my life, this is my plan.
1. Do you agree with me that most people do not take advantage of the opportunities that life gives us?
Yes, i totally agree that most people waste their lives and do not take advantage of the opportunities that life gives us. I want to change people's lives, i know it would be hard, but i'm ready to help them out. How i can do that? Follow me on instagram @azinchenko15
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I met those kind of personalities, but i don't have people like you describe in my enviroment.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
I have a goal and i move towards it everyday. I watched a huge amount of videos on youtube about motivation and how to enjoy your life, but it won't work until you change your mind and start doing something.
Absolutely agree with you. For many people, life becomes a routine. Unfortunately, in this distress, people find themselves mostly through their own fault.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
Few. Many works yes, and work a lot, but only because of the fact, that money allows them to live. It often upsets me. Because many of these people are incredibly talented, and it would be better for everyone if they caught fire and began to build a career.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
Hmm, I have a lot of plans for enjoying my life. And travel is one of them. But my experience of living in a common room in a hostel was not as lucky as yours. So I still have to earn money for a separate hotel room.
My plan to enjoy life is to get my earnings enough to live good life, with travels etc. not to worry about money.
I am not sure about this one. Maybe some people really don't take the advantage, but some others are doing their best, but simply can't because of their situation and here I am not talking about only financial problems.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
To be honest, I have a few people with such beliefs. I am not sure if they are happy now, but it is their decision and they wanted such a life.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
My plan to enjoy life is to do whatever I want whenever I want and with whom I want and everything else is not so interesting. :)
I agree, but only partially. It depends on values. For example, my parents were very young when I was born. So what they had to do? They decided to give me everything that I needed (small children need a lot). In conclusion I want to say that many people postpone their dreams to give their children more than they had. I love my parents very much and hope that some day I would make their dreams come true.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
Many my friends, so am I. And there is a reason. We want to get higher in our careers to have ability to do anything we want without worrying about how much it costs.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
I want to travel more with my friend and family and achieve manager position in IT (e.g. architect), work on project I would be proud of.
I agree with this statement, but with note that not anyone should travel or like to travel, I met people that really enjoy staying in cozy home, and find traveling stressful and annoying.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
I think that millennials, really more thinking about self development and happiness more than previous generation. But of course there are a lot of people who prioritizes career most. But I've quite a few, and don't have friends who thinks so.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
I don't know, my plan is to do my best disregarding of what I do, and don't miss opportunities as they come.
2. Workaholism is a serious issue. I know way to many people who destroyed their mental and physical health working their entire lives to ‘make it’ only to find that now they are too old and sick to do anything.
3. Honestly I travelled a lot when I was young and now everywhere kind of feels the same. It’s the bonds you make that matter, not so much where you make them. My genius plan is to get into a field of work which leaves me with as much satisfaction and freedom as possible. To do what you love and maybe get paid for it is the dream.
1. Do you agree with me that most people do not take advantage of the opportunities that life gives us?
Yes, the most. Many people only go according to the current that carries it. In other cases, they do not think about new development paths, what they could do for themselves.
2. How many people do you know for whom your career is more important than anything else?
Very many. Honestly? Unfortunately, I am such a person myself, but I am in a moment of significant changes in my life.
3. What is your plan to enjoy life?
Change the flat, start living together with my girlfriend, start building a family and focus on it and learn more about the world.
