1. Not living in the moment. Always
wishing you were somewhere else, doing something different with other people.
2. Blaming your problems on your
past. Although the past affects us, it need not define us. We can choose,
decide and act – and take control of our lives. Don’t let your past heartache
and pain affect who you become.
3. Running away from problems. It’s
pointless to bury your head in the sand and pretend that things are fine when
you’re dealing with a problem. Face reality, take action and work to turn
things round.
4. Being ungrateful. Being thankful
sets you free in your heart and mind. It inspires all that’s good and, also,
oils relationships. But an ungrateful person will wear others down. It destroys
your spirit, and it saps your energy.
5. Being angry and bitter. Refusing
to forgive and bearing grudges against others will slowly poison our
personality. It’s much better to release them and to focus, instead, on living
a happy and fulfilling life.
6. Letting your expectations rule
your life. Life rarely goes smoothly and according to plan – and people
disappoint us and let us down. Accepting this is normal takes some tension out
of life.
7. Disrespecting yourself and
others. Every single person deserves respect, and every single person is fighting
their own battle. So focus on being kind, understanding and forgiving.
8. Neglecting important
relationship. A relationship that’s built on unconditional love – where a
person accepts us for who and what we are – is truly a gift and is worth fighting
for. Don’t take it for granted – recognize that it’s a gift.
9. Loving people who are bad for us.
Not every person will build into your life. Be aware of those who who’ll use
you, or who want to bring you down, or who want to hurt you, or destroy your
confidence.
10. Never taking risks. If you
always play it safe, you’ll find you end up going nowhere. You must be ready
and willing to take risks. If you don’t, you may regret it as you’ll miss so
much in life.
