You Gotta Learn Something! (5 Things I Learned This Week)

Yo, interneters! Author Jason Jack here, and I want to share with you 5 things I learned this past week (and important things I already knew)! You gotta learn something, right? ;)


1. Do want YOU think is fun.
As long as you aren't affecting another person, violating any laws, without harming yourself and respecting you and this world around you (phew!) have fun with your life. Life is long but it can also end short. We might as well spend the available time we have on things we love to do (just remember to pay the bills and take care of responsibilities first!).

2. REMINDER: Let's all create things, not just consume them!
The world is a beautiful place with endless amounts of media and services for all tastes. We should enjoy them, but we should also dig deep and add to the pot with our unique talents. Because if we don't, it would be a waste of talent and a disservice to the world ;)

3. Go out and learn what you don't know! Stop waiting!
No one is going to serve you a plate of knowledge and success. It's up to you, and you alone, to find it, make it, create it for yourself.

4. Budgeting is very fun!
Trying to maximize limited resources is probably one of the most fun and engaging things you can do ( really!). It's a puzzle, it's a problem waiting for you to solve--food shopping with a limited budget, shopping trip with limited gas, and so forth. Budgeting is a nice brain-intensive workout that can change stressful situations into something fun, as long as we look at it as a challenging activity. 

5. We're alive. That's a miracle. And it's also enough.
We should all think about this the next time we complain about mundane things (cell phones, clothes, electronics, etc.) we have or don't have. WE-ARE-ALIVE! It's mind blowing we are all here, sharing the same world, together! So, let's remember to stay positive even in the darkest of moments. We'll be better for it :)
