101 Ways to happiness - #12 Spread your wings and fly

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Growing up in a small vilage in Slovenia is the reason why and who am I today. Definitely I can say living outside the busy city life has a lot of benefits. Having your own garden, house surrounded by nature, respect towards nature and domestic and wild animals, etc.. But the biggest benefit for me is the peace and quiet.

On the other hand living in a small Slovenian village has one big issue. I'm talking about people. Not all people, but just the ones, who don't mind their own bussiness, and stuck their nose in everything and everybody arround. That's why is very important for me, to once a while just leave this place and go somewhere else. Doesn't matter if that is an old place with familiar people, which I visited for a thousand times, or a new place, where I don't know anybody.

Maybe you are wondering why - let me tell you... If you are constantly in the same place, you lose perspective about the value of your life and people around you. You get the feeling that that's the way of life and nothing can be different. But boy, you are so wrong. With atipical trip or even longer journey to the other side of the world you will notice different habbits, different way of life, and even different way of communication between the people.

As beautiful our country is has also a big issue of being so small and people know preaty much everything about others and you will be judged about everything you will do differently than majority. So read carefuly, when I am giving you this advice.

" Constanty broaden your perspective about home surroundings. It will enable you to connect with similarily thinking people from all continents of the world."

"Just try and step away from daily routine and go and meet others. You never know where you will meet your next best friend or even a partner for life which you were looking in the same old places with no luck!"
