In today’s fast society, people just want to jump right into relationships.

“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive”~Joseph Campbell. Too many people are worried about putting their time into activities that won’t “lead to a career” or that they “won’t be any good at” or “is too much of a commitment.” With this mindset, people tend to only do the things expected of them, and ignore their passions and true desires. Lori Deschene discusses 40 ways to feel more alive. She breaks these 40 ways down into 4 categories:
- Say something you’ve been meaning say.

It has been said that you shouldn’t look for someone perfect. Rather, you should be the perfect person for someone else. How do you do that, you ask? Well, here are some things you can try to become a better person for yourself and for others:
- Be willing to change. Nobody is perfect, which is why there are always ways to improve. The only way to do that is to allow ourselves to change to become better.
- Stop making excuses. If you want to get something done, but you… Stop right there, there are no buts. Excuses are what people tell themselves to stop blaming themselves for the accomplishments they missed out on.
- Control your emotions. Letting your emotions get the better of you can be a dangerous thing. It is important to be able to put your emotions aside when making decisions.
- Be a role model. People will look up to you and you will feel so much better knowing that you’ve made someone’s day or that you’ve influenced others.
- Be honest. Be honest, not just to others, but also to yourself. Take responsibility for your actions, good or bad. Honesty is honestly the best policy.

Author and psychologist Robert Anton Wilson’s recent video sheds light on this topic. His main point is to have a world view/belief system that is open and accepting of new ways to interpret the world.
