Traveling is an excellent sport, and it involves a widerange of benefits like knowing different cultures, breathing in differentspace, and enjoying various adventurous activities.
But the best part is knowing different people and findingthat despite the differences, the moral code is similar and you can appreciatethe varied cultures and be empathetic towards them. This opens up the door tobecome more generous and enjoy the human connection at another level.
All of this is good, but the trip is costly, especially ifyou want to travel far. Anyways, the farther you go, the varied the experiencesbecome.
If you are living in an are where the water from the oceanis scarce, then you would be eager to find some places to read a book and wetyour feet. Or you might wonder what a desert would be like – is the coldness ofthe desert similar to the coldness of snow or same cold climatic regions.
Questions are many, and many don’t have answers. The bestyou can do is experience the journey you take and become the best possiblehuman being you can.
After all, these experiences add up, and you use them tomake better decisions, be more open, and give more to the world.
The Recurring Deposit
If you are earning just enough to cover your expenses andhave no money left, then you shouldn’t be worried about traveling. Instead, youshould focus on improving your skill sets to make more money.
Of course, you could travel to a local environment to explorethe areas which interest you and thus enrich your life.
Plan where you want to go – and find the estimated cost ofyour travel. For example, if you’re going to go to Madhya Pradesh and you aregoing to spend five nights then going at a rate of 2000 INR per day, it wouldcost you 10,000 INR. Add additional 5000 INR, and you have 15000 INR as yourtravel requirements.
Divide the budget by the 12, and you have roughly, 1500 INRper month. Open up a recurring deposit of that amount, and by the end of themonth, you will have to money to travel. Do this every year, and you willtravel every year without fail.
Adjusting Priorities
The common discomfort which you might come up is theargument that by opening the recurring deposit, you will have less money or no moneyto spend on things like shopping of clothes, eating out with friends onevery weekend.
And that is bound to happen. Money doesn’t come from magicsince your income is limited for you; the priorities need to be adjusted.
If you insist, traveling every year is essential to you,then you need to have that recurring deposit going on. Yes, you will spend lesson other things, and that’s the price you pay for the happiness of travelingevery year.
The Same With Life
This metaphor of priorities isn’t limited to travel. Youneed to check where you are spending your time and money.
Those are the things which decide your priorities in life.Whatever it is that you like, make sure you spend the time and money on them –by any means possible.
That way, you will end up achieving whatever you haveenvisioned for your priorities. It can be an annual trip, having betterrelationships or a bump in career. You have to have behaviors, time, and moneyadjusted for whatever you are hoping to achieve. You can do this, get yourpriorities straight now.
