You Can’t Live an Unusual Life Doing What Everyone Else Is Doing

The truth is that most of us do not live as we would like. And we can hardly say that we wake up with real joy and emotion in anticipation of a meeting with the day to come.

Why? Because they don't live their lives.

Many agree to live in the conditions of other people. They are not doing what is best for them, but what others expect of them.

As Derek Sivers wrote in his book, "Everything Is In Your Hands":

"Most people don't know why they do what they do. They imitate others, go with the flow and follow the path of someone else, not creating their own. They spend decades pursuing things without realizing that their possession will not make them happy. "

You will not be able to live an unusual life if you do what ordinary people do. And you will not find true happiness in doing what others expect of you.

Ordinary life is what we have been taught to accept and not what we have chosen for ourselves.

"The idea that it is enough to feel 'comfortable' in life or to be 'completely satisfied' with it is a concept promoted by the education system, the media, and politicians to persuade the population to comply with the current situation, rather than to strive to move forward, "Grant Cardon said.

We are convinced that if we keep our heads down, simply follow the instructions and help other people above us to fulfill their dreams, then we will be able to fulfill our dream. Then we can earn enough money to feed ourselves, get a roof over our heads, from time to time to go on vacation, and finally to be happy.

However, many people eventually realize that this formula does not work.

It is unlikely that you will receive encouragement from the outside world as you begin to live a non-mundane life. But this life is still accessible to all who dare to create their way to live the life they dream of.

If, after reading the last paragraph, you recognize yourself in this person, you will be interested in the following tips:

1. You do not unconditionally accept the rules that other people follow in their actions

Most people live by what I would call "the tactics of a mediocre person's life." This is a generally accepted list of wisdom that is passed down from generation to generation so that people can live the life of all who came before them.

They go to college not because they want to, but because the norm tells them so. They do not live by their own rules, but by the rules of other people.

But most people enjoy such a life, and they will quickly implement it to anyone who tries to give them a different idea of ​​what they read in the textbooks, even if their current life circumstances make them unhappy.

In his book, "Start with the main!" Gary Keller wrote:

"Anyone who dreams of an unusual life eventually discovers that there is no other way but to try to find an unusual approach to life."

Always think about how you can do things differently. Get rid of the habit of blindly following the crowd and never be afraid to break the rules that most people follow. This will allow you to create new rules to live the life you dream of.

2. Spend time creating, not consuming

If you've ever wondered why you don't watch Tesla or Ferrari commercials on TV, I can give you an answer right now:

"Because everyone who has the money to buy a Tesla or a Ferrari car doesn't watch TV."

Wealthy people do not spend money (or their time) on endless consumption. Rather, they will spend it to be where they want to be in life.

Each of us has a choice. Either we look at other people's lives and see how successful they are, or we focus on ourselves and how we become alone.

Finally, there is no specific formula that will allow you to live an unusual life. But there is one thing I know for sure: you will never live an unusual life if you do what ordinary people do.

We all fall into the trap that if we follow other people's rules, we can live "comfortably" or be "completely satisfied" with our lives. However, this idea never works.

It is not necessary to follow the crowd and you have every right to create new rules that will allow you to live the life you want.

Lastly, don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd; be afraid to merge with the crowd.
