Living Like a Drug Dealer is Much Better

Living life like a drug dealer doesn’t necessarily mean you have to consume drugs. One of my friends is into this business and he earns much more than he needs for his survival. However, he is happy giving away a major part of his earnings to charitable organizations, and lives life moderately. Only by understanding and adopting certain principles, he managed to have a cheerful life. Let’s see whether any of these can be useful to us.

You Can Get Anything But Not Everything

He has enough money to buy anything he wants. But buying everything is certainly not possible. Similarly, we too cannot have anything. Always, in life, we would come across multiple choices to choose from. However, taking all the paths is not possible. You have top choose any one.

Don’t Bother About Others

Most of us do what pleases others, instead of doing what we like. Drug dealers, however, simply doesn’t care what others think of them. They do what they want to do, and lead a happy life. We don’t have to buy expensive gadgets to perform basic operations like calling up people or staying in touch. Simple ones can serve the purpose. Similarly, other things like expensive car, designer clothes, and going out every day doesn’t define who we are. Simply forget what other would think about us and do what you really like.

Don’t Accumulate Debt

You wouldn’t be able to live in present, if you are still repaying past debts. If you have accumulated enough, get out of it immediately. Debt wouldn’t let you do things that you really want to involve in. If you want to save money to go for a vacation and spend some time with your family, you wouldn’t be able to do it, if you have large sum to pay every month.

Don’t Buy Junk Things

By this I mean don’t buy things that don’t add value to your life. In fact, most people spend most of their income on things that deteriorate their life like alcohol, cigarettes, weed, and so on. Instead, you must spend money on things that improve your lifestyle, and bring more happiness.

Chuck Everything, Focus on Your Life

Instead of simply thinking about what you want to do, start doing it. We keep making excuses and keep procrastinating our goals. Chuck everything and take action. Lying in your comfort zone is easy. However, this laziness wouldn’t get you anywhere.

These rules, though adopted by a drug dealer, are completely legitimate, and can be implemented by every individual in every stage of life. You simply need to prioritize things without bothering about what others might think. It’s your life; take charge of it.
