There's More To Life...

---

Of course, there are so many things that a person is supposed to do at least once in their lifetime. With how hard we work and how many things we have to juggle at all times, it can be so difficult to keep things in check. Many times, we simply get carried away and we forget to actually enjoy the life that we’re living. This is just a price we pay for the struggle, but then, we also have to make a conscious effort to try and enjoy ourselves from time to time.

This is vital because these little pockets of enjoyment that we seize when we can end up being the foundation of what could turn out to be memorable events for us. After all, later on in life, what are the things you want to look back on? The days you toiled and struggled as you created a good life for your kids? Or the days you actually enjoyed yourself or had a good time with your family?

This is why vacations are made mandatory because they give us the opportunity to step away from everything stressing us and just have fun! After that, we could always come back to work feeling refreshed and invigorated for what was to come.

And just like everyone else, I have a couple of suggestions for what people should attempt, even if it is just once in their life. The first one is to travel. Traveling to new places and meeting new people is something that everyone should do eventually. As a matter of fact, you should travel at least once every year. It’s just that it’s way too expensive in this economy, but when you can, try to take the opportunity.

Travel opens up your mind in a way that staying grounded in one location never will. Just moving from the eastern part of Nigeria to the Northern part will show you how differently people in the two demographics relate, even though they’re basically one people. Learning how to circumvent your way in a new environment will be a skill that will come in handy for the rest of your life.

Traveling to other countries opens your mind up even further because there you get to experience the activities of other governments, you get to see other cultures close up and compare notes. It will always be fun. Learning new things and meeting new people. These are the kind of memories that stick with people for a very long time indeed.

Another thing I’ll suggest for everyone to strive and achieve in their lifetime is to fall in love. Forget everything that social media has portrayed love to be, but being in love with someone and knowing that they love you back, I don’t think there is a more profound feeling than that. Love is a beautiful thing, and many of the people who speak so loudly against it have either been done dirty by the ones they love or they just haven’t experienced it before.

Either way, when you’re with the right person, love will be the sweetest thing in the world. That is why many times, people find it hard to let go of those they’ve loved for a long time because it’s just not easy. Love doesn’t make sense, and people will keep making crazy decisions because of it. But still, none of that will stop people from falling in love. No matter what, love will always be in the air.

So, that’s my two cents that I have to bring to this table. Try to travel and make sure that you fall in love, even if it’s just once in your life. You will never forget any of the experiences.
