I just retuned home from seven months in Australia and New Zealand. I backpacked, worked, traveled, made new friends, got lost then made it home safely. I cannot overstate how much you learn when you leave your own country. Here are ten things:
- The more you understand about the world, the more you'll appreciate its beauty.
- You'll be surprised at what you're capable of, but only if you have the courage to attempt what you're unsure of.
- Never underestimate the impact you've had on the lives of others.
- Dreams aren't meant for just weekends and holidays. Build your life around them.
- Don't confuse loneliness for the social pressure of popularity.
- You must learn how to express yourself – put your thoughts into words and your words into actions.
- Having the support of your friends is invaluable, having the strength to go it alone is vital.
- Take the time to acknowledge your successes before you reach for new goals. And don't be so hard on yourself.
- Life should not be an exercise in self protection. Always smile at the pretty girls.
- Surround yourself with what you love, then absorb it.
