10 Things That Can Wreck Your Life


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.

Must Haves for a Great Relationship




1. Shared sense of humor; lots of laughter and fun 


2. Little gestures of thoughtfulness 


3. Personal space 
(there needs to be separateness in your togetherness)


4. Having the ability to spend hours together 
(simply doing routine or humdrum things) 


5. Having “fairness and respect” rules in place for when you argue or fight 


6. Having an attraction that goes beyond the physical; liking each other, and their personality


7. Believing that your partner has what it takes to live the life that they want to live – believing in them always, and especially when they’re down 


8. Having a relationship that’s built on trust, openness, honesty and faithfulness.
