A friend once told me he had a severe case of FOMO and once he explained what that meant (fear of missing out), I realized I can totally relate. Anytime someone says they’re doing something I’ve never tried or traveling someplace I haven’t visited, I suddenly have this strong urge to have that same experience. We only have one life to live and I feel as though in order to live it to the fullest, I need to experience as much as possible during that time. If you do the exact same thing every day, never challenge yourself, never step outside the box, how can you grow as a person? I don’t believe that the experiences need to be as extreme as my own; it could be something as simple as going to party where you don’t know anyone. Anything that puts you out of your comfort zone is a new adventure all in itself. FOMO on the other hand, is for those of us opportunists that just aren’t good at saying, “no”, to any new adventure.
If you’re bored with life – or you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.
