How to Live an Exceptional Life

Spend time with interesting people.

Spend time with your friends. Spend time with people you can learn new things from. People in different areas of work, religion, lifestyle, expertise and country. The more you learn, the more you know the more interesting life will be.

Choose something you like, and do it with passion. It can be anything from work to a hobby.

Get rid of what bores you

Anything that bored you, try to get rid of it as soon as possible. Enjoy life, be active. If you are the kind that likes to be pampered, go to a spa and enjoy your day there. Don’t sit still, try to do as much as possible.

Share your stories to friends

Friendships can provide the core of what many adult want — connection, shared sensibilities, enjoyment.

According to Rebecca Traister in an article in The New York Times, sharing stories with friends “made things I yearned for, like better work, fairer remuneration, increased self-assurance and even just fun, seem more attainable.”

Say “yes” to different opportunities

Stop saying you have to much to do, you don’t have time and start taking the opportunities that comes your way. You will be surprised what new opportunities may bring you. Stop regretting what could have been and start taking the opportunities that come you way.

IL-Say yes to opportunity

 

 

 

Believe in “fail forward”

What would you do if you knew failure couldn’t stop you. To be honest it shouldn’t stop you. Remember when you were a kid, and you started to walk? How many time did you fall before you learned to walk? Did you stop trying after the first or the second fall? No, right? The same is true now. If you fail, learn from your failure and keep moving forward. If you are not failing you are not learning new things. It’s like Shakira said in her song “Do Everything“, “I will keep on making them everyday, does new mistakes”.

Travel to many different countries

Expand your horizons. Travel to as many different countries you can. Experience the different cultures, habits, cuisine, nature, smells, languages, architecture and everything you can. It will enrich your way of thinking, change your life and make you approach anything in your life differently.

Learn something new

New things gives you a challenge. When you challenge yourself, you may do things you never expected to. Great, interesting, rewarding things. Don’t hold back to learn something new, because it will help you to become more of what you meant to be.
