My Honest Advice For Someone Who Wants to Live Life to the Fullest
For those who know they’re capable of more
Georgia and I took my little sister Lara to the beach last weekend.
Georgia and I always leave early to skip the traffic, and I decided this was the perfect metaphor to teach Lara a life lesson that I wished I’d learned years earlier:
The average path that most take leads to the average result that most get.
I first understood this philosophy when I happened to leave early and noticed there was no traffic. And again when I was travelling and walked a few kilometres outside the popular areas only to find it was less crowded and had cheaper, more authentic experiences.
But this idea extends into every aspect of life:
- Average nutrition leads to average health
- Average financial discipline leads to average finances
- Average experiences lead to uninteresting stories you could find in millions of other minds
One of life’s greatest misconceptions is that you can only live a bad life if you succumb to addiction, crime and other sin.
