I often am jealous of people who buy premium version books. Hardcover, nice smell, beautiful prints, and most importantly- the good feeling. Local prints will never bring all these together.
And yet I buy the locally printed books, you know why? I feel like books are something to be read. If it’s just about reading, why would I waste my money on the premiums? I don’t!
You need to lose something to gain something. You should understand the difference between things, to decide what you should choose.
We often fall in dilemma about choosing things. Its not because the choice is too hard, it’s because we don’t know our hearts enough.
Maybe this is why one of those ancient Greek Maxims was- ‘Know thyself’. Life is difficult when you don’t understand yourself. Try meditating, journaling, spending me time.
When I feel stressed I go for designing a Mandala or something abstract. It helps me to think about life. I slowly reach a point where I know what to do. I sometimes go for painting too. But not all creative works will get you the same relief.
Sometimes only after making choices, we understand we were wrong. You walk by a pizza place withoit spending a dollar on a Four-Seasons, you regret later! (Well, I don’t know whether it’s highly likely or not. But I suppose that can too happen! Next time you do things of that sort, you take time to think. That’s how you explore yourself- understand what you really want!
Try finding yourself. Everything changes with time, so do you. What matters is giving yourself the moment. Choosing the flavor of pizza, buying a new book might be easy but choosing the major for graduation program- that really needs you! Each of these choices has certain effect on your life, your mood and a lot of other things.
Figure out what you’re worth, set an aim and go for it. Good luck and have a great day!
