How i went on exploring Lofoten aboard my sailboat from 1972
So i don’t like telling anyone what to do, or reading tips/tricks from others about how to do things.
But this is a HOWTO guide, on how i went on quitting my job, selling everything i owned, and bought a sailboat for the money. And it turned out to be the best decision i have made in my entire life.
Starting small
When i first started moving out of my comfort zone, i started with doing really small steps. Like trying out vegetarian food instead of meat. I did not give it much thought, at all. I just wanted to try something new, since i was maybe a little bored with eating the same food everyday?
Explore
Everyday i came home from work, i would turn on the TV or Play some video games. Most days got the same, and i did not know what to do with my life. So i started exploring new things, like Bicycling. I did not give it much thought, a friend approached me and asked if i wanted to bicycle with him and i did. Life gave me a opportunity and i took it.
Asked my self what i need
I had a car, large apartment, good paying job and was quite happy with that. But still, there was something missing. So i tried selling stuff i did not use. And used to money to buy materials and things that i could create stuff myself with.
Failure
So most people look for others advice for success. I stopped doing that, there is too much information out there. So instead, i learned to appreciate failing.
Learning by doing
Learning by doing has been my go to approach ever since.
So too summarise, don’t listen to anyone else. Listen to yourself, you already know enough. Don’t fear failure, we learn by failure. Have fun, enjoy and live in yourself!
