Create Your Own 8th Continent!

So by now, everyone has heard me say many times- “Welcome to the 8th Continent.”

The 8th Continent to me is a place that is created through mind frames and decisions that can easily be made every day in your life.
Throughout all of my travels and the people I have met and the challenges I have faced; I have learned a few tips on how to get to your own 8th Continent.
These simple steps and tips seem obvious, but the major difference is when you take time out to concentrate on each of these goals.
Which ones are you doing?

8 Easy Steps to Getting to Your 8th Continent

1. No matter how grown-up you get, never lose your childish sense of wonder.

2. I have heard people say “Any decision is better than no decision.” I highly disagree. However I do believe the right decision is most commonly obvious, we are just clouding our judgments with “what if?”s Never make any decision based on fear and you will be able to see which path is best for you.

3. What’s better than someone buying you flowers? Buying yourself flowers… or even better, planting something that will bring you flowers for months or even years to come. You deserve it.
4. Don’t compare yourself with others.

5. Learn from the past, but live in the moment.

6. Don’t beat yourself up. There are way too many other people out there that will try to take it upon themselves to bring you down. Appreciate yourself and if you happen to misstep- know that will always happen when you are hiking through paths of life. Learn from it, heal after it, and move ahead of it.

7. Give away what you don’t need to someone who does.

8. Always keep learning. Better an apprentice at the age of 95, than a master at the age of 20. There is always more to know, more to learn. Always remain an apprentice.

These are my eight steps to getting to your own 8th Continent.
