In my last blog post, I mentioned how people should take advantage of traveling the world if they are able to do so. Right now for me, it’s a bit complicated. I’m not in a position to do that. I am not financially fit to travel the world on a full-time basis as of now and that’s okay. There’s no rush for me to and there should be no rush for you too.
Everyone is at a different position in his or her life and for those who aren’t able to travel right now, I think this post can help you satisfy your desires. Since I can’t travel on a full-time basis yet, I’m starting to build towards doing just that. That’s the whole purpose of starting this blog in the first place. Blogging is a tremendous way to bring in some dough for yourself. Over time, the more you work on a blog, and the more readers you acquire, the more opportunities you can acquire as well.
You can have the opportunity to run ads on your website and that generates revenue whenever somebody reads your blog online. Ads are essential and are a key component to getting yourself to travel the world. Now, it may take some time, planning and sacrifices. I realize that if I want to start bringing in some revenue for myself, I am going to really have to work my tail off on this website. I am aiming to write at least one blog post per day. They won’t be super long, but to come up with something to write about every day is the challenge. Keeping it fresh and having the desire to do this will determine whether this will be yay or nay.
If I give myself a deadline, that’ll help, because limiting myself and committing myself to do an action will force me to give it everything that I’ve got. That’s a key for those who want to travel more. If you do want to do so, you have to start motivating yourself. One thing I’d recommend, and it’s obvious, is to start saving money and be responsible on what you do spend it on. Limit the amount of times you go out with friends to bars or restaurants and eat at home instead. Limit the amount of times you use the internet or television to prevent your bills from skyrocketing and instead pick up a book or go on a run or walk and explore what’s in your area.
Exploring around your area is a great way to get yourself in the right state of mind for when you go out in the world. Your curiosity and admiration will grow and you’ll find yourself appreciating the things around you much more often too. I am also keeping in touch with Jacob and my fellow Exploriors and getting advice from them and using their experiences as a way to propel myself to my own experiences. There will be sacrifices you’ll have to make and many of these will stink. People move at their own pace but don’t try and compare yourself to others when it comes to moving ahead.
I sometimes feel left out or disappointed in myself for not going out there and traveling as much as I would like to. But I have to remember, that I am me, and that’s a great thing. I am my own person and I move at my own pace. My role models such as Jacob, Drew Binsky and Indigo Traveller, have their own unique personalities and mentalities and have designed their lives their way. That’s huge because again, it’s all about bringing in different perspectives to learn more and expand your horizons. I’m in a different spot compared to them and that’s another thing I have to remember.
I’m doing different things and am in a different geographic location. I’m still learning new things and I am still new to adult life. It took the three of them a lot of work and dedication to get where they are today. Jacob is an extremely intelligent individual, one of the smartest people I have seen on YouTube and he gives a lot of great advice on starting your own businesses. I recommend checking out his channel and really try and understand what he’s explaining.
As mentioned, I look up Jacob’s demeanor and perspectives of life and use that as guidance for my life, because they are inspirational. So if you aren’t traveling right now, don’t worry. You’re good, you’re not doing anything wrong. It may take a while, but you’ll get there one day trust me. I know I will one day and I also know that one day, I’ll meet Jacob and my fellow Exploriors in-person.
The World is Yours
