Life is yours to take by the horns and live to the absolute fullest. So many people go through life doing what is expected of them. Work, get married, get a house, have a baby etc. Which all of these are perfectly fine and natural, and eventually, you’ll end up there as well. But beforehand, you need to go out and experience the world. Do everything you want to, before it’s finally time to plan to settle down. Take a look at these ideas.
Bucket List
This is the perfect way to make sure you’ve completed everything you want to do in life. Whether it be travel, thrill seeking, or just general life milestones. But travelling is definitely one of the best ways to live life to the fullest. Immerse yourself in different cultures, and really see the world through a new perspective. So many people never experience the world outside their home country, don’t let this be you. If you’ve always wanted to skydive out of a plane. Just go an do it! You could even set up a charity fund and put your plan to good use. Before you settle down, make sure you’ve gone through all the stages of life. Having too many drinks with your friends, learning to drive, even a holiday with them. It’s all part of the growing up experience.
Don’t Let People Hold You Back
This is so common in life. Whether it be your parents, work, friends etc. There always seems to be something in life standing in your way. But take a stand and do what you want to do. Don’t waste time being stuck in a job you’re not happy in. Take a leap of faith and leave to find something you’re actually interested in. How many of you can say you’re stuck in a job you dislike? Exactly, so do something about it! Parents seem to be the worse for holding you back. They grew up in a generation where everything was by the books, nowadays they should be encouraging you to follow your dreams.
Finally Settling Down
You’ll have hopefully gone through life living it how you wanted to. When the time comes that you’ve met all your milestones, and you feel ready to settle down, there’s a few things you need to try and do. Planning is one of them. Buying a house, having children, getting married etc. is all well and good. But it is such a long process. Whether you choose to buy a house first, or have children, you need to protect both. Make sure you have a good lawyer as it’ll be time to start thinking about a will, take a look at Brunch and Brock for example. Making sure your house, and your child is financially safe in the future is so important.
Make sure that when you look back on your life, you can say you lived it to the absolute fullest. Even create a scrapbook of memories, so one day you can show your child how awesome your life was.
