Why you should move to a new city

It's a mixture of excitement and fear. You have thought about it for some time now and you are convinced that a change of environment will be good for you. 

It could be to a new city, a new state, country or even continent. You are not sure where, but you really want to move. That's wonderful!! I have done my fair share of moving... a lot actually. Incase it's still a desire but you still haven't found a convincing reason why you should make that move. Let me give you reasons to change location.
Why you should move 

To Pursue Your Passion or Career (Going where the action is) :
You've heard from some of your favorite celebs,  they left their country, or state to come to LA to pursue their dreams, sometimes with no money, no friends and all the uncertainties accompanying a new move just so that they might have their chances at success. Moving for a better career is an extremely valid reason. You might have a dream organization you want to work for or you have skills which may not be appreciated where you are, a huge favour you can do to yourself is to go where the action is. Are you a small town girl? it's time to move to a big city. Is your current location "dead" at the moment? It's time to locate an industrial hub and take advantage of the "life" there. Are you tired of working for a particular industry? Move to a completely new place and see what thrives there. Who knows, your skills may be better suited there and you might be the pioneer of something beautiful. Make that move!

2. You want a community where you belong :

Are you a liberal at heart but you feel stifled by your present environment? Are you a conservative at heart but find yourself in a place that seems too liberal for you? Are you religious but find that your present environment have few people of same belief as you, don't have a gathering where you can meet without judgement or just doesn't make room for your religious needs? Do you have secret desires or a way of life that you wish to express(which isn't illegal or harmful) but can't do so because of your present environment? Are you a geek or a scholar who can't find your likes around you but feel Iike everything is conspiring to dumb you down? If you have similar situation to any of this or you answered yes to any of these questions, do yourself a favour, research places that would give you a sense of belonging and Make that move!

3. Your Present Location Has Become Too Expensive :

Due to urbanization, industrialization or gentrification, you may find to your dismay that you cannot afford to continue residing where you are. The rent is skyrocketing, healthy food isn't easily accessed and even what is available is expensive, utilities are being cut off or in short supply, bills are piling and cost of living as a whole is becoming more expensive, you might want to consider a move. There are always cheaper places to stay even if temporarily pending when you can afford your current location. It makes no sense burning through your money due to your present location when moving to a cheaper place could help you cut cost and allow you save. Make that move!

4. Get Your Personal Life in Order :

For most people, success is many things and a balanced or healthy personal life. You might be smashing in other areas of your life but find that your personal life isn't where you want it to be, it's probably a sign that you should move to a new city. Are you working in a location different from your family? Do you feel the need to be so close to the love of your life who is in a different city? Have you tried dating within your present location but found no luck? Do you feel like where you are is so distant from friends, acquaintances and loved ones? Do you want to start a family and for reasons known to you, you don't see yourself raising your dream family where you are? Friend, your personal life is too important to ignore. If changing location will put things in perspective for you, Make that move!

5. You Hate or Complain About Your City :

You're ready for a change. For some time, you just realise so many things are beginning to irritate you about where you stay. It could be the people - why are they so loud? When did so many people move down here? It's getting overpopulated, why don't they mind their business? Why do they party so much? The weather (because climate change) - it has gotten so damn cold you constantly have to wrap yourself up or it's so hot you are always sweating, the transportation - there seems to be no fast means of transport due to daily traffic, the noise- so many cars on the road, so many factories, so many churches or mosques. The traditions- why so many dumb rules? Why are there so many restrictions for women? And so on and so forth. If any of these thoughts and more have come to your mind, for your sanity? Make that move!

6. You Have No Reason to be Where You are :

Did you have one or even series of bad events such as heartbreaks, death, rejection? Do you have bad memories be it from your childhood or as a grownup that you want to forget? Do you feel stagnated at your present location? Is all you feel about your present environment nostalgia? Do you feel like most of your friends and family have moved and are living their various lives where they are and you feel like doing same? Have you lost your primary reason for moving to your present city? If yes, dust yourself and Make that move!

7. Thrill and Adventure :

Are you into nature, adventure, and outdoor activities but find yourself in a place where you can't live a life of thrill? Do you want to forget your current regimented life and just go where the wind may take you? Do you just want to strike things off your bucket list and live on the wild side even if for a short period of time? If this is you? Feel free to find out places that will give you what you need, take a break, Make that move and live your exciting, thrill-filled life.

8. Independence :

You have been living with your parents, siblings, lover or friends for as long as you can remember. You can't remember having only you to do things for or having just you looking out for yourself. You have probably formed what you agree is an unhealthy codependent relationship with some one and you desperately want to break out. You want to stop relying on people for comfort, validation, and everything else. You want to live alone, leave your comfort zone, live independently, gain the self confidence that comes from knowing you can actually achieve a lot on your own and holding yourself accountable for your steps and missteps. Congratulations, welcome to the real world, you should absolutely make that move!

9. You simply want to change location:

You are tired of seeing the same faces, going to the same places all your life, you want to try something new, you want to go where you have always wanted to, you want to change perspective, broaden your horizon, gain experience from a new place, learn a language, just whatever your heart desires,  that's beautiful and nothing should stop you from making that move.

So if you have a great place in mind and you feel you should move to a new city but somehow need a motivation or a reason to move, I hope this inspires you to take that risk, venture out and experience life from another part of the world, see things from another angle. You never know what beautiful things await.
