You want a better life. It's normal to feel like this sometimes, because that's how we're built. Here's an experiment: the researchers put a worm in a pile of abundant nutrients and sexual partners. After a while, the worm left the pond looking for something else. What the? Nor did the worm know, it is certain that it always happens like that. The result led the researchers to the hypothesis that curiosity is instinctive and characteristic of the simplest forms of life. Curiosity that gives the "new" a greater share than ever of the "old" embrace.
And if it is valid for the worm, why would not it for humans? It is and is not valid. It's true for minor things like a coat, a watch or a new movie, but the analogy stops where it's about major things: personal life and career. Because "and at the end of the world, if you run away, you will also give your ass," says a Turkish proverb. And there you will be, with your memories and your hopes, and with the same luggage of experience. And you wake up playing in the same piece but with a changed decoration.
So if you want something else from life, you have to start changing yourself. Even if you are unhappy with others or your career. How to do? If you want a better life, surround yourself with good people and spend as little time as possible with others. Because who lives among drinkers, he will not see alcohol as an enemy of his own health and families, but as a virtue. You will tell me that this is not up to you: good people are not at any corner of the street, and if you met them, you would have stayed with them. Agree, such people to enrich your souls are rare, but have you thought you can find them ... in a book?
It is said that a read book is a lived life. Reading a fiction is also an act of creation alongside writing, an act that you live with the whole being. It does not even look like watching a movie that you passively pass through as a director and actors. The reader is a partner, not a passenger of the writer. Not by accident, the first advice to become a good writer is to read a lot. Okay, you'll wonder if everything is so great, why do not we read more and more literature? Because, just like anything beneficial, it involves a cost. Reading requires time investment and a constant training of concentration, and everything in a world full of so many temptations.
Yes, I know, you can not isolate yourself in fiction. You must still walk on the ground.
