This may not work for everyone but something to think about.

[...] for updates on this topic.Powered by WP Greet Box I was reading John Chukwuma’s blog post How to Annihilate (or Deal With) Your Greatest Fears HiLife2B.com.  I saw that someone told this young man to simply “Enjoy Your Youth.”  [...]

There will be days of solitude and days filled with friends. There will be days full of passion and there will be days that seem like they will never end. I say find a rare balance between those days my friend and yes Enjoy Your Youth!

You should follow your bliss. That will lead you to success. I am learning that the hard way teaches you many lessons that you will inevitably learn, but the blissful (and still not so easy way) gets you there with much more love, appreciation and understanding.

Enjoying Your Youth doesn’t mean don’t work hard. At least, not in my book. Enjoy Your Youth means don’t forget to enjoy each step of the Journey and each piece of the process for when you are older you will learn that life was only the journey… life was only the process… it never was the destinations.

But I think clarity is key. It’s interesting how we can have these universal ideas, and they’re universal so we think they’re mutually and universally understood; yet, we all define them uniquely our own way. Things like love, success, failure, etc. For example, I went over to This bread place to pick up some pastries and they said they were “fresh.” They certantly tasted and smelled fresh, but they made them overnight and it was like 7:00 am in the morning. Not that that took away the quality or anything but for some reason what they had called fresh, I would have maybe called a leftover. After thinking it over, how much fresher could it get than that.

But that’s beside the point of this post so I’ll stop, lol.

Kind of confused how it’s cliche to cite references… if it happened, it happened. Nothing wrong with citing examples, right? Steve Pavlina is another example. He doesn’t try to act “proper”, he’s just himself. He doesn’t hide anything about himself: that makes him real and unique.

And as if trying to obtain my goals within four years is “immediate”…

Every time you say “enjoy my youth” you’re just telling me to forget about my goals. Have fun while it lasts, right? But why should it have to last for only so long? Why live it up now, and regret not working on my goals (that could yield more fun for me for the rest of my life after college)?

By all means, have the enjoyment that comes with having fun without future prospects save for graduate school. In four years, you’ll be surfing job application websites while I’ll be surfing the big waves in Costa Rica…
