Jackie Chan was once asked what advice he would give to the young’uns and he promptly answered: “TRAVEL! Your money will return but your time won’t”.
The world is full of experiences, and we can never get enough of them. The more we experience, the better we become at it. We learn from our mistakes and improve ourselves as a result. But one thing that I have noticed over the years is that people tend to forget about experiencing things for themselves or doing things on their own accord. They always want to do it with someone else or with an event happening instead of just going out there and doing it by themselves. This is not only a bad habit but also very unwise because you are missing out on so many life-changing opportunities in front of you.
I believe that one way to change this habit is by investing in your own experiences rather than relying on others to invest in your life for you. You need to take control of your life and make decisions for yourself rather than waiting for someone else to do it for you or relying on an external source such as an event happening instead of going out there and experiencing things by yourself, which will only leave a huge impact on your future self if you continue doing this into adulthood.
Another way I believe people can start investing in their own experiences is by traveling internationally or domestically alone rather traveling with friends or family. Traveling alone will allow you to experience a new culture and environment that you would not be able to do if you were traveling with others. You will also have more time to explore the area on your own rather than being rushed around by other people.
Traveling abroad is one of the best ways to invest in your own experiences because it allows you to see things from a different perspective, which can help improve your life skills and broaden your knowledge base. Investing in yourself by traveling abroad is beneficial because it gives you an opportunity to learn how people live their lives differently than how they live their lives at home, which can help improve mental health and overall well-being when done correctly. It also helps reduce stress levels as well as improves physical health due to the change of scenery, but this depends on the individual’s lifestyle and habits prior to going abroad.
Investing in yourself does not always have to be about traveling overseas / locally; investing in activities that are solely for yourself can also count as well such as buying tickets for events or concerts that are exclusive for just adults only instead of going with children or teenagers who may ruin everything by acting up or having no respect towards others while attending them (I am looking at you, teenagers). Investing in yourself means doing things that only benefit you rather than relying on external sources such as events happening instead of experiencing them firsthand like an adult should do instead of waiting until adulthood like a child does.
Investing in yourself means taking time out to do something alone without the need of anyone else’s company, which is beneficial because it helps reduce stress levels and improves mental health. It also helps improve physical health because it reduces the amount of time spent with other people and therefore reduces exposure to germs and bacteria from other people’s bodies. It is important to invest in oneself because it makes us feel better mentally and physically when we take care of ourselves by doing things such as these mentioned above.
