They say that it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. We get so caught up in where we are headed that we miss out on so much along the way.
As teenagers, we’re expected to know our future plans. For college, for a career, for the rest of our lives. But deciding exactly what we want to do often blinds us from other opportunities. It causes us think that we have to follow a plan and that we can’t change our minds.
Life doesn’t come with instructions. So why create them? It’s okay to change your mind. It's okay to be unsure. It’s okay to not know. It’s okay to get lost. When you get lost, you discover so many new things.
Throughout life you learn a lot and discover a lot about yourself and about other people as well. Everything changes. Nothing is guaranteed. This allows for new things to come into our lives at any given moment.
We tend to overestimate the amount that we have. Life is extremely short and you never know when it might end. We eventually realize how short our lives are and time doesn't stop for anyone.
Time is a concept that humans created. We have 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour. We let it control our lives. We wake up when the sun rises and go to sleep when it sets.
The best advice I can give you would be this. Do more things that make you lose track of time. Spend time with people who make you lose track of time.
Do what makes you feel alive. Life is made out to be a complicated mess, but when you get lost in order to discover new things and lose track of time, this create a whole new perspective and you won't be disappointed.
