The Road Best Taken: Effectively Save Money

My parents have taught me many important lessons to shape me into the person I am today. Among these lessons are: always say thank you, be appreciative of what you have, working hard pays off, etc. Most of these lessons were obtained fairly easily, but one that I particularly had a difficult time perceiving was how to save money. I have to admit, I love shopping. If I had to choose between a lavish lunch and a shopping spree, I would pick the shopping spree without thinking. It was not until recently that I began to recognize the importance of saving money. 

The Road Best Taken: Cyber Workout

In this day in age, technology is everything. Innovators have found a way to do just about anything with technology –– fitness included. Unfortunately I am not unveiling a humanity-changing app that will transform you into a bodybuilder or Candice Swanepoel with the touch of a button, but these apps can definitely help and guide you to achieving your goals. The best thing is, you can do most of these in the comfort of your own home.

The Road Best Taken: The Little Things

In the world we live in today, it is quite easy to lose sight of things that truly matter. We take much of life for granted and fail to appreciate the amazing benefits that it has to offer. We walk through the rose garden without stopping to smell the roses. We have a six hour layover in a cool city and don’t go out to experience it. We go to buffets without trying everything! I, for one, am guilty of all of those things. In fact, until recently, I did not realize the beauty that lies within the city I live in. I thought that San Francisco was not up to par because I did not take time to look at the things around me. 

The Road Best Taken: START

Through the words of Bob Marley, I would like to ask you to, “Open your eyes and look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?” If you are not, be aware that you are not alone. According to a survey held by Harrisin Interactive, only one third of people in the U.S. are happy with their lives. The numbers may be overwhelming but it is not a surprise to me because I was one of those individuals myself. The journey toward contentment is different for everyone. Some will need a life-changing transformation to be pleased and others simply need a little motivation. But of all the changes a person can make, conforming to a healthy lifestyle is (in my opinion) the most effective way to achieve inner satisfaction. It not only can increase one’s happiness, but can also increase life expectancy!
