#46 – The Benefits Of Traveling The World

Take some time off and enjoy your weekend! Do a short trip somewhere! Travel, meet new people, learn from new cultures and enjoy life! Let your little problems aside for a while and focus only on relaxation. You need to rest to have enough energy to keep moving forward later. When you are on holiday, BE on holiday! Don’t take your phone with you, don’t check mails, just enjoy the present moment! Let this weekend be your mini-holiday! Don’t mix work with time off. Whatever you do, do it fully. Put your full attention and energy in whatever state you are currently in and the experience you get out of it will multiply itself!

PS: Here you also have a little video I found about how traveling the world affects us in a deeper way! If you are somehow like me, you will feel extremely exited to pack your things and travel the world right after watching the video! =)

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

One night while baby-sitting, a grandfather passed his granddaughter’s room and overheard her repeating the alphabet in an oddly reverent fashion. “What on earth are you up to?” he asked. “I’m saying my prayers,” explained the little girl. “But I can’t think of exactly the right words tonight, so I’m just saying all the letters. God will put...
