Stop wasting time living the life you do not want to live!

The truth is that most of us, especially the ones searching for life advice of our own, are not living the lives we want to live. We are half-assing a lot of things and are dwiddle-dawdling around in plenty of areas in the hopes of hitting the “jackpot”, the “lucky break” or the “opportunity of a lifetime”.

But here’s what no one tells you: You are too old to keep living a life you do not want to live!

That being said, here is the absolute best advices I have for you:

Number 1: Go for what you want, nothing less. A lot of people will tell you that you shouldn’t reach too high, or that you should set reasonable goals, especially now for New Years coming up.

That is complete nonsense. I mean, how many of these reasonable goals have you ever really worked for? How many of those have worked out and really fulfilled you?

Wouldn’t you be much more motivated to work for a million dollars instead of a hundred dollars? One is definitely more reasonable than the other but so what? If you are not going to work for the reasonable one anyway, then you might as well pick the one that excites you.
