Walking is a great way to actually get to know the place that you’re in, but I admit that not wanting to spend money may have sometimes been a bigger motivator. Even when that money was only $2.35.
Going from having a well paying job in NYC to not having steady income in a developing country meant that I had to redefine my relationship with money. For a while, that meant defaulting to “avoid spending any money, period!”
Sorry, good people at my hostel in Portugal! When I realized, I was half mortified that someone would have to move my underwear and half upset because that underwear had costed $19.
Finally getting to that creative pursuit. 🙂 And true story, my little sibling produced higher quality and a higher volume of artwork within 5 days of me bing home than I had produced in 5 months.
Sometimes, the greater risk is not taking one at all.
What do you mean I spent $800 last month, just on food??
What is the line between excuses and limitations? It’s hard to say. It’s unrealistic to think that anyone can do anything, anytime – but so often we shut ourselves down with reminders of what we are not, without even giving it a shot.
By nature, there are certain things we’re good at, and certain things we’re not. But just because we’re not good at them doesn’t mean that they’re impossible. Venture out and push your limits, who knows what you might find?
