I'm now over the age of 30 and I have done some cool things in my life. I enjoyed my childhood by playing with friends outside in nature. Then came my teenage years with school and lots of crazy adventures and events. Soon after I landed in 8 - 5 job I liked and then started to travel.
Sounds like normal life - right? Now let's think about it... Children nowadays are not playing outside as much as I did - they have the screen in front of them more than their parent's faces. Once they go to the school they continue to be in front of the screen - this time playing games and sitting in every possible social media site. The screen in any shape or form is in front of them even when they eat their dinner with family. And then they land in 8 - 5 jobs they may like or hate but does it really matter? They get paid and they can cover their rent and food + have a little bit extra to spend in shops for whatever they need. I'm not saying they can buy whatever they want, but life seems to be OK.
OK???
- Is that really the way we want to live our lives?
- Is that the way you want your children to spend their valuable time?
If so then that is fine. I just hope that you all understand that the digital age is here and there will be more and more people that will be replaced by robots and the population will increase no matter what and this means that life will get tougher and tougher. I could expand on this but this time I will get straight to the point.
The lower and middle class will get poorer and poorer. And I'm not talking about money here. I'm talking about the time we have for our selves and the people around us. Time is the real currency in our life if you didn't know that. And the sad fact - many of us just waste it in front of screens.
Now in this 2020 pandemic people just go crazy because they have to stay at home for a week or two (in some cases longer)... Why are you going mad?? Because you have been given some extra time? Because you can spend time with your friends, loved ones or family? Because you don't have to go to work? Because you just don't know what to do?
Well don't you think that you are in a rat race or some kind of a broken system? The system works for someone who controls the system but for you it's broken. Broken because you don't have anything else but work and your screen in front of you... I know - Some people just stopped reading this because it is not nice to hear this and especially if that applies to your life.
So how many of you reading this can say - ''My life is not like that!''?
I value my time and I know what I would do if I would not have to work and there wouldn't be any screens that feed crap to us. If that is you then leave the comment and tell us what would you do?
Here I am writing this and yes I am in front of my screen. The only difference is that I am not taking in someone's crap that is forced on me by targeted profile marketing... I'm sharing my thoughts in the hope that someone will open the eyes and will figure out their meaning of life. I am thinking about this as well and one of the things I have extracted is this: I want more of you to start to travel and have real experiences in your lives! Don't waste your life! Just don't waste it! Don't blindly go somewhere or I should say nowhere! Take your time and think - figure out the real purpose of your life.
I have had some great adventures and I can tell you now - The adventures are the ones you'll remember - not your work. I'll name some adventure I have had to show you what I am talking about:
- Multi-day themed outdoor events in every season
- Trips in Europe
- Treasure hunting (again - outdoors)
- Experiences in Latvia (where I'm originally from)
- Surf trip in Morocco for 1 month
- Move to Canada for 2 years
- Adventure Trip to Hawaii
- Burning Man
- 74 day road trip through 33 states in the US with 1 dollar car
- Move to New Zealand for a year
- Adrenalin trip through New Zealand
- Experiences in Thailand
- A winter trip to Iceland
- Road trip all around Italy
- Move to UK and experiences there
- Children (2 of them)
- Marriage
These are some of the experiences I have had and not going into much detail right now I can say that every experience I have had is a good experience. Yes there are things that may not be the way I would like but that is part of the experience. The main thing is that all experience together is a good experience.
Now being in a lock-down situation in the UK I can dedicate more time to things I love such as family and my true passion - travel.
The question is: How to live the life to remember it?
And I mean LIVE not to waste it. That is a big difference!
Here we come to the title of the post: ''How to become a Cat and Live the life?''
Why a cat??
Have you read or listened to the book ''Animal Farm'' by George Orwell?
If no then it's time to do so as it will show you how this world works.
Here it is - FREE on Youtube. Listen and pay attention to every animal and its role and lifestyle. Think about it and identify the animal that matches your profile!
To me - Cat is like a digital nomad and sounds like his life on the farm is the best. It might not be easy, but he does what he wants and goes where he wants, doing some work - sometimes disappearing for a week and then returning back and monitoring everything from a distance. With this I would like to say - Don't get chained up to one place! You are the one making those chains! Figure out what truly sparks the joy in you and follow your passion. See the world! Take a step back and see what is happening around you. Don't believe in all that's been told to you but remember the information and after some time you will be able to put the puzzle peaces together. Follow your intuition and Your Life Will Change! The cat is intelligent and clearly understands the system he is in and uses the system to his advantage knowing the rules and consequences. So to be successful at any time we all should know our goal and things we need to do in order to succeed. And only then we need to do them.
For me - the best memories I have are because I had a dream and a strong will to follow it!
Do you have a dream?
That is simple Yes or No answer!
If No then take your time and think of one! If Yes - great!
What is your dream?
It must be precise and achievable!
Here is an excellent audiobook that will give you the core information you need to achieve your goals. And again - it's Free from Youtube!
Are you doing the next thing to accomplish your dream right now?
If your answer is Yes - then that's great!
If your answer is No - then it's time to take action!
I'm here on the same journey as you are and 1st step for you would be to listen to those audiobooks listed above, then find and follow your dream! If the work you are doing currently is leading you towards your goal - that's great! If not - then it's time to make a plan and change things...
Good luck to you and please leave the comment to say what do you think about this!
Let's follow our dreams together and maybe the right way is to be more like that cat! :)
Share this and change your and your loved one's life!
Join us and make your dreams come true!
