Does anybody else think "is there more to life than this?" mentality?
Main Post:
Get up, go to work, come home, make dinner, go sleep, and repeat the cycle.Nothing is quite terrible but nothing is quite right either. Like this can't be it. I'm ready to take on the world. Not be stuck living some average life doing the same shit over and over till I die. Some people really think this is how life is and I refuse to believe so. I'm searching for answers. Right now money and things arent doing it for me. I think I'm searching for a higher purpose amd challenge.
Top Comment: Have you ever thought about trying to save money as best you can and travel other places. Take on some new experiences? I know it’s easier said thandone but you can’t let yourself be a slave to a 9-5

Here’s 32 things I’ve learned that I hope help you in your journey:
- It’s usually better to be nice than right.
- Nothing worthwhile comes easy.
- Work on a passion project, even just 30 minutes a day. It compounds.
- Become a lifelong learner (best tip).
- Working from 7am to 7pm isn’t productivity. It’s guilt.
- To be really successful become useful.
- Like houses in need of repair, problems usually don’t fix themselves.
- Envy is like drinking poison expecting the other person to die.
- Don’t hold onto your “great idea” until it’s too late.
- People aren’t thinking about you as much as you think.
- Being grateful is a cheat sheet for happiness. (Especially today.)
- Write your life plan with a pencil that has an eraser.
- Choose your own path or someone will choose it for you.
- Never say, I’ll never...
- Not all advice is created equal.
- Be the first one to smile.
- The expense of something special is forgotten quickly. The experience lasts a lifetime. Do it.
- Don’t say something to yourself that you wouldn’t say to someone else.
- It’s not how much money you make. It’s how much you take home.
- Feeling good is better than that “third” slice of pizza.
- Who you become is more important than what you accomplish.
- Nobody gets to their death bed and says, I’m sorry for trying so many things.
- There are always going to be obstacles in your life. Especially if you go after big things.
- The emptiest head rattles the loudest.
- If you don’t let some things go, they eat you alive.
- Try to spend 12 minutes a day in quiet reflection, meditation, or prayer.
- Try new things. If it doesn’t work out, stop. At least you tried.
- NEVER criticize, blame, or complain.
- You can’t control everything. Focus on what you can control.
- If you think you have it tough, look around.
- It's only over when you say it is.
- One hand washes the other and together they get clean. Help someone else.
If you're lucky enough to get up to my age, the view becomes more clear. It may seem like nothing good is happening to you, or just the opposite. Both will probably change over time.
I'm still working (fractionally), and posting here, because business and people are my mojo. I hope you find yours.
Onward!

Top Comment: At 47 I've learned that being kind is a bit of a super power. It's always good to make someone else feel seen and heard. Happy birthday Louie! I hope it's a great one.
What simple living practices have had the biggest impact on your life?
Main Post:
I'm looking to simplify my life and would love to hear about the practices or habits that have made the most significant difference for you. What changes have you made that brought the most value or improvement to your daily life?
Top Comment: Quit social media (except reddit lol) and stopped comparing myself to others! This allows me to enjoy my life as it is and stops me from "wanting" unnecessary things just because influencers wants me to buy it.
In your opinion, how does one live a happy and fulfilling life?
Main Post:
I (23f) am obsessed with reading self-help books and I’m trying to understand what I have to do to live a happy and fulfilling life. Each self help book I’ve read has a different perspective on what it takes to have that sort of life but I want to hear it from real people who actually live what they consider to be a happy and fulfilling lifestyle. What did you do to get there? How did you do it? I would love to receive some feedback.
Top Comment: “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy.” Live your life in accordance with your values. Know a false summit when you get there. Bite off more than you can chew and chew like fuck. Forgive yourself. Love people. Take it easy.
