Advice

Everyone has an opinion on how you should live your life when you get out of college. Most of the times the other voice comes form your parents but sometime it could be a stranger. I find that the best people to receive advice are from people you don’t know, people who have nothing to do with your daily proceedings. Strangers, since they are the most uninvolved, unbiased people related to you, give the best advice no matter what the conundrum. 

Recently, I got some words of wisdom from Mark Harding AKA this guy:

 http://www.wherethehellismatt.com.

He has a wide Net following but let me sum it up: Matt is an average Joe who gets paid to travel around the world and occasionally blog but mainly he videotapes himself dancing. Here is the response I got from him when I asked him how I should direct my life:

“Choices are tough.

I think we don't really like having

too many options in life. When the realm of possibilities starts shrinking

and we get locked into a particular lifestyle, 

it's kind of a relief. 

But the truth is, you can live your life however you want.

Travel taught me a lot about myself 

and what I want to do with my time on the planet. 

I recommend getting out there as soon as possible. 

Don't worry too much about the money.”

Matt also mentioned that the field I am pursuing a career in is one of the worst out there and he knows no one happy in the industry. He told me to get out of it, immediately. 

There’s some advice you should take seriously, especially when you directly ask for it. But other advice it’s been to just take in and then let go. Some people even say that when you are making a touch decision you really aren't trying to figure anything out at all, most of the time you've already made a decision the second the obstacle was put in front of you- but you were just struggling to accept it fully. Think about that one...

Here's some advice though: If you listen and follow what everyone says you’ll be walking around in autopilot for most of your life. So try to figure some stuff out on your own, or just go read a lot of people's blogs.
