Imagine Everyone Vacations for GOOD

What would your life be like, if every year you took a vacation to new destinations around the world? Our parents, and our grandparents waited year after year saving money for the right day, right season, and right year to take a vacation.

People in the United States get the least amount of time off, and yet when they do get time off, they wait till retirement to do the things they can do today. Life is shorter than you think. One day you are alive, and the next day you don’t get up, your life is done.

Here’s a great article on Forbes about Americans and vacation time-off, by Tanya Mohn, “U.S. The Only Advanced Economy That Does Not Require Employers To Provide Paid Vacation Time, Report Says.”

The only perfect time to take a vacation is today. We come up with reasons why we don’t take vacations, we rationalize our existence, and we sell out our big dreams of seeing the world and living the life we deserve, and for what.

Top 3 Reasons People Don’t Vacation for GOOD

1) I don’t have the money. With crowd sourcing sites abound FundYourTravel.com, Gofundme.com should help.

2) I don’t have time. If you are working 50-70 hours a week, it is only a matter of time before you wake up, and you realized you aged 20 years in the last 3 years. Whose life are you living?

3) “I can’t leave because the kids, I can’t leave them behind. And I can’t take them; because I need a break.” Why don’t you take a vacation where you and your kids can spend quality time doing things together, and developing relationships that matter.

5 Benefits to Taking a Vacation Every Year

1) Health benefits, time off reduces stress.

2) Creative innovation, being away from the daily grind, your can day dream, and come up with great solutions.

3) Improve productivity. Once you come back from your vacation, you will be refreshed to start anew with a full tank.

4) Develop great relationships with your kids and loved ones. Spend quality time with the people that matter to you most.

5) Your life is what you make of it. Live life fully, have fun, be adventurous, and accomplish your travel bucket list. Teach and inspire your family that life is about more than just work. Vacations help you appreciate all the effort and hard work.
