If you dread your everyday actions in pursuit of a “dream”, then it’s probably best to re-think your goals and ambitions. Why go to school for a subject that makes you miserable?

We’re not advocating you to be irresponsible and quit your job, but we’re also encouraging you to look at alternatives.

27. We all travel one life together.

– Anatole France

Sometimes our brains can analyze things to death, taking the joy out of life. While we love learning and breaking down things such as educating ourselves in science and technology, it’s also a good thing to just look up at the stars sometime and admire them just as they are. Find a happy balance for yourself on your journey to how much you want to “analyze” and how much you want to just “see”.

31. Take time along your journey to be present and cherish small moments.
