Travel. I urge you to travel when you can. Visit that place you’ve always wanted to, go back to where you’ve had all your best childhood memories. There’s a huge world out there that is too beautiful not to see, and there’s so much inspiration. “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” Take photographs. Carry your camera everywhere with you, and shoot whatever interests you. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Your best photograph has most likely not been captured yet. Stay inspired. Inspiration is everywhere. Maybe you will see it in the street, maybe it will come from the ones you love, or maybe even on some cliche teens blog. But please stay inspired.

Take a break. Doing something you love too much will always feel like it’s turned into a chore. How many times have you listened to your favourite song on repeat? After a while it’s just not the same, but then it comes on your ipod one day and you remember how much you loved it. And you’re back to square one. It’s okay to take a break from something you love. In fact, it makes you appreciate it even more. Laugh. Every. single. day. Be happy and don’t take life too serious. “I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’ - Kurt Vonnegut Keep trying. If you’re not good at something, keep practicing until you are.

Commit. Do everything with the intention of finishing it. Don’t force things. If it’s not working, it’s not working. If you’ve tried and experimented and you still don’t like it, stop. Be adventuress. Break the rules for once. Stop being so scared of not staying inside the lines. What’s the worst that could happen? Try something new. When you leave your comfort zone, that’s when things start to get interesting. “If you always do what you’ve always done, then you’ll always get what you always got.” - Tony Dinozzo (NCIS) Stop procrastinating.Where’s that ever got anyone? Stick to your word. Plan. Stay Organised. Delegate.
