We are living in a time of uncertainty. The world is evolving in such a fast pace that it is almost impossible to keep up yet we are expected to. Society expects us to adapt to new things that are sprucing up and for a moment it feels like the world has changed overnight. In every aspect of our lives, things are changing. It is unlike a decade ago. Should you be worried? Yes you should but do not lose hope. Below are some tips for modern survival.
As human beings, we do not naturally respond well to change. It is too risky. Way too uncertain! We gravitate towards things that have stability and as much as we would like to keep it that way, the world has different plans for us. Things happen that are out of our control be they man-made or natural disasters, political revolutions and even current events. They all have an impact in our lives, directly or indirectly.
Being prepared is one way of being a step ahead. Accepting that you cannot be a hundred percent in control will save you a lot of time of being in self denial. Keep yourself informed by being aware of all the risks around you and you are well on your way to surviving these modern times.
Survival is an instinct that is deeply embedded into us. Normally, when everything seems right people often don't know that they have this survival instinct. But should something go wrong, it is the person whose lifestyle has included in it preparedness and a habit of planning that is most likely going to be able to meet the trials that stand in his way.
Modern survival is more than just having supplies for backup. It is a way of life. To prepare for the future which is unknown, start by changing your way of thinking. Liberate your view of everything and keep an open mind. It will save you a lot of heartbreak so that if you hit rock bottom, you will be standing on your feet in no time!
Do not let the system hold you down. I don't mean that you should go against the law. No, that's a sure ticket to jail. Knowing that you have the power in you to transform your life is a way of modern survival. Who said that after you graduate you should get employed? Too many people already do that. You can come up with legitimate ideas to earn yourself a living while doing something that you enjoy!
Do away with things that you do not need. You do not have to have a new car so that your friends can have a new found respect for you. Keeping up with the Joneses has become the new way of life for many. Competing with others to see who can keep up will only lead you to debt. The best way to go about it, remain true to who you are. Cut your coat according to your cloth!
Have your own goals and arm yourself with the know how before stepping into the world. Being smart is the one way you can go through modern survival and come out of it with dignity. Hopefully these tips will help you through these uncertain times and help you enjoy them nevertheless.
