Why not improve?
Oh, blog! I've missed writing! I recently got into video making on YouTube and I completely neglected my blog. Sad face. Never again!
So, I was watching one of my favorite shows today, Millionaire Matchmaker.
It's basically this woman, Patti, who's job is to find millionaires love, who seek it. They come to her and tell her what they are looking for in a partner and why their last relationships failed. She gets all the info she needs, has a team of people who find people in the area with those qualities, and then they all interview random men/women and pick the people she thinks are best fit for the millionaire.
It's a very good show, because it's entertaining to see whether or not she makes the match. Nine times out of ten, she is succesful. I like it also, because some people honestly don't know what they want and waste her time and she holds back no verbal feelings and lets loose. It's pretty hilarious!
So, anyway, my point in explaining, while I watch this show and see these millionaires' life and whatnot, I always catch something they say and take it to heart. These are people who somehow became successful whether it being through hardwork and years of dedication or just having the right last name, whatever.
Today, I specifically loved what this man, Eric, said. He is 47 years old and he mentioned his problems first, and then also made a point to let Patti know he has to have someone who is passionate about something. Anything. Just passionate. He can't have a partner (he is gay) who is just sit-still and comfortable with life and not improving on something or working.
I thought about people I know currently, and how many, many people I know are just working. They are not going to school, they are not taking free workshops on self improvement, they are just going to work, paying bills, going out on weekends. I mean, this lifestyle is fine, if that's what makes you happy. To each is own, Right?
But........What my very next thought was- I cannot do that! I was in a job-training situation for three MONTHS last year, and I couldn't take any classes during the time, because the schedule was so intense. I made the most money I've ever made in my life (haha) and I didn't even care. I absoluetly hated not being in school and learning something or feeling as if I wasn't bettering my future. Sure, the money helped and took care of financial problems-But I wasn't happy. I was simply doing it because I had to.
I later couldn't take it any longer and signed up for an online course, just to make myself feel some sort of accomplishment of "getting closer to my degree".
I acknowledge that school isn't for everyone, but why not do something different than your everyday life?
I feel as people sometimes get stuck in their lifestyle and become sooooo incredibly comfortable, that they no longer even have the motivation or desire to go farther. Maybe they feel they don't have potential, or maybe they just honestly do not care, but I will never understand because I can't do that.
I will always look for new ways to improve on myself or take another adventure on. Whether it be changing my schedule to attend a gym frequently or just take a class at school or join a local volunteer program. I need to be invovled in something. When I'm not for a long period of time, I feel almost bored with life. Like, I must move or do something. I guess I just like to feel as though I am doing something.
Life's too short to live the same day twice.
