Prioritize Your Dreams, Not Society's Expectations

Do you want to live a more adventurous and travel filled life? - I’m going to assume your answer is yes so I’m going to be a little blunt here... - (Save this post to come back to when you’re starting to feel like your dreams aren’t worth it and share it with your friends who need a little kick to get their dreams rolling!) - You MUST prioritize it then. More often than not when I talk to people about my travels or lifestyle they always say ‘I wish I could travel more like you’ or ‘your life is so fun and I wish could do those things you do.’ To which I promptly respond with a ‘YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN..’ and explain prioritizing it and they proceed to tell me they can’t because of a job, they want to buy a house, or some other reason that sounds a lot more like societal pressure then what they actually want based off of the tone of their voice. - I understand these things can be necessities in some cases or a form of security which is great, but they aren’t an excuse for not living the life you want. You can have a job and still travel. You can have a house and still explore. You can have a family and still make your dreams come true. - It’s about building a base to keep YOU comfortable, not to make society happy, and then prioritizing what feels good to YOU and what YOUR dreams are. You can have a full time job and still travel, I’ve done it. You can buy a house and still road trip but maybe that means waiting to buy a house for a few years or buying one with a lower budget (you should see some of the low cost apartments I’ve lived in..). You can have a family and still go hiking, we do all the time with our friends who have a daughter and it’s amazing to watch her see the world! - The point is.. You. Can. Do. It. You just have to prioritize it. It’s not easy but it is absolutely worth it! - Are you prioritizing what you want in life?
