Life: Rolling the Dice

DAY 9

Motivation for people who aren't doing so well in high school or life in general

I have to be completely honest here. I didn't enjoy my high school life as others have. There were many factors at play here, but mainly it was due to study troubles, friendship struggles, and girls. I yearned to restart my life and was really looking forward to studying abroad after high school. After I graduated I left Macau to study in New Zealand and the aforementioned problems did not bother me anymore. It wasn't as simple as just going there - much thought and patience brought me to where I am. I knew a long time ago that I can choose to go where I want and chase for what I want. I wanted to go to New Zealand and study a health profession. Now I'm pursuing a career in pharmacy and life's great. Just like me everyone has a chance to restart their life and be where they want to be. You can make the change, and roll the dice. See where you go, who you meet, and experience so much more. 

Just Leave

If you don't like where you are in life - figuratively or literally - then you should just leave. Unless you have a family member to take care of or a similar commitment then you have no excuse to not leave. Don't worry about what happens next because it's wasting mental energy and unproductive. Think of the present and decide on where you want to go. Plan on how to get there and don't look back. This is your life we are talking about, don't stay in a place where you are miserable! If you have the chance to re-roll the dice then take it - you'll have nothing to lose! I don't care where you live, there are cheap plane tickets to many different parts of the world. I guarantee that travelling to a unfamiliar place is an addictive and pleasant feeling.

New Experiences

Immersing yourself in a different environment helps you learn about the world and helps you find your place in the world. Each city, town, country, etc that you go to will have it's own kind of uniqueness. It may be their culture or it may be their ideologies. Those are just two of many things to look out for in each place that you go.  Enjoy each experience and note down what really sticks out to you. Go as far as you can and come back to the best places. You deserve to experience the world.

Find some kind of work in each place that you go - you'll be surprised by all the opportunities out there. This gives you a lot of experience and a more in depth look into where you are. You would get a feel of what it feels like to be a local. In addition this helps you stay in places that you like for longer.

Change Will Come

If you are actively pursuing change then change will come. Be patient and hang in there while you wait for the chance to re-roll your dice. Bear with the difficult people and situations that you are in because they won't matter in the end. You won't have to deal with them once you're gone. Work hard for change because it comes with a price. Work hard for whatever that's required for you to roll your dice. You can't just wait for change without putting the effort to change. Get that A average, get that job, or do whatever it takes. Initiate the change then the ball will start rolling until BAM. It all clicks and your on a plane to Russia or where ever.
