TWW 034: Forget New Years Resolutions and Go Travelling

Stream here or listen on iTunes or Stitcher

Have you set a New Years resolution for 2015? Going to exercise more? Make healthy changes to your lifestyle?

In the process of setting, or not setting your resolution, did you stop to think about the direction your going in life, if the work you’re doing is fulfilling, if your friends are inspiring you?

In this episode we explain how travelling is the perfect way to assess where you are going in life. To gain new understanding of yourself, what interests you, and where you want to go in life. We share their experiences feeling unhappy with work, but being afraid to quit and go travelling and why you should be going on a big trip in 2015.

A big part of the episode focused on why you should be going travelling instead of playing around in the Rat Race. We are raised always told to sacrifice short term happiness for long term happiness. You go to elementary school to prepare for high school, high school for university, university for work, your first real job for the next and onwards. You go through life never stopping to enjoy the moments, you’re always preparing for the future until you die. This video clip of a lecture from Alan Watts on the topic was inspiring for me.
