Dear young people,

If you do not make a deliberate and intentional effort to do things—be it maintaining a particular relaitonship, or visiting a particular place, or having a particular sort of day, or buying a particular gadget, or anything of the sort—after the age of 18 or 22, you will in all liklihood never do them, or reap the fruits of whatever the thing it was you didn’t do would have yielded, again. Seriously.

Once you start working—whether you’re an employee, or an entrepreneur, or a professional friggin athlete—the days blend together, and it’s easy to make the excuse when you’re not working that you’re too tired and just want to relax and do nothing. And on some days, even many days, it is okay and good to relax. But on certain days, it is good to live like you’re a kid again, and do what you’ve always wanted to do, and run around the world as if it is full of treasure, waiting to be discovered.
