The path to your dream can be much shorter than you think. Often a lot of things look tempting and obvious, but they're not worth it. In our life, it is sometimes more important not to commit something beyond strength, but to avoid making standard mistakes. What not to do, and you continue?
The traveler will get to the goal faster, who avoids dangerous places, and does not rush right through. There is always a place in life for bad places, habits and deeds, where many people have already disappeared. Why be like the past poor fellows? Shorten your way by avoiding mistakes, rather than checking each one on your forehead.
"Instead of cursing where you fell, you should have found what you slipped on." Paulo Coelho
What shouldn't be done in life? Other people's mistakes
Inability to quit on time and lack of a sense of proportion
Smoke one cigarette after quitting smoking. Drink more alcohol when you already feel that you have gone too far. Returning to your ex when it's time to start a toxic relationship and look for a nicer girl. Another hour of watching TV, surfing the Internet, or playing on the computer before going to bed. Eat another slice of pizza or one cutlet when you are already full. One more year to be patient at work, when it was long overdue to leave.
A little more and that's it? How many more such things have you had in your life? But all the problems went to a new level and made the circumstances even worse. It is very important in life to be able to stop at the right moment. Don't stay where it is bad. Don't do unnecessary things. Recognize the edge and the point of no return. You need to leave on time when a certain time comes. Moving forward and limiting yourself in stupidity is development.
Acting under emotions
We often do rash things under the influence of strong emotions. Hasty decisions, actions and words can make things even worse. Avoid doing anything when you are not adequate and can only break the wood.
Exhale, distract yourself, and give yourself time to cool off. Only when you think well, then make a decision. This will save you from problems that will then have to be solved for a long time and persistently.
Disregard for your own interests
How many times have you let other people use you? How many times have you agreed to something when you planned to say no? How often was too good a Samaritan when others rode around your neck? Why were you afraid to state your desires and needs?
It is right to be selfish within a reasonable framework. This is the right choice if you want to achieve something. Better to be selfish rather than comfortable with other people. It is better to be considered an egoist than a simple-minded fool who is easy to fool around. What not to do? Be a weakling and a simpleton. Take what you rightfully deserve.
Do not use a condom
We all love sex and neglect safety. But what is behind this carelessness? Approximately 1.5% of the country's adult population is infected with HIV. That's a lot to play Russian roulette with your life. The bus in which you travel to work seats about 100 people. This means that there are always one or two cases. Do you feel how much?
And how many marriages are there? Recently, about 50% of marriages are concluded when a flight occurs. Needless to say, about 80-90% of such marriages break up later? Why do you need problems where they should not be?
Use a condom. This will save you from such mistakes in life, which you will never correct. Although naive fools continue to play Russian roulette.
Ignore sleep and rest
Do you think that you don't need to sleep yet, and in the morning you will be all right? As a result, you go to bed later and later. But at the same time, you are constantly sleepy, tired, exhausted, you look old and very sad.
Try to go to bed at the same time and get enough sleep. You will be surprised at the results. You will feel more energized. You will look younger, fresher and more beautiful. You will be more able-bodied, efficient and quick-witted. Sleep works magical wonders and makes us happier.
Lack of control over anger and language
Don't say unpleasant things to someone you care about or with whom you don't want to ruin your relationship. When angry, you can say too much, which you will regret later. Words can destroy relationships that you hold dear. Better to count to 10 and keep quiet than sorry.
We often blurt out things that are best kept with seven seals. People find out your secrets and then spread them. Better to be quiet, especially when you have drunk. This will save you from later regrets about talkativeness.
Excessive naivety
How many people have let you down, betrayed or deceived you? We are too gullible, simple and naive. We trust people, and then we cry bitterly. You have far fewer friends than you suspect. You have many more enemies than you think.
Grow up ahead of time. Don't rely on others. Don't be naive about many things about money, career, relationships. We trust other people, but we don’t believe in ourselves. Believe in yourself and your dreams, and be wary of others.
The habit of making mistakes
We make mistakes easily when they could have been avoided. Many people know how to make mistakes in life, but why learn from our own? Everything has happened in the world more than once. Smart people learn from other people's mistakes. Don't reinvent the wheel one more time and be prudent in your life. What shouldn't be done in life?
- We get caught up in unsuccessful relationships
- We destroy health with bad habits
- We are friends with assholes
- Pay attention to the opinion of the envious
- We are chasing only material things (phones, clothes, etc.)
- We spend a lot of time and money on entertainment
- We worry about trifles
- Littering money to impress others
- Avoiding sports and healthy eating
- Doing various nonsense
Fear of the new
We grow into habits and certain lifestyles that we rarely try new things. But avoiding the new we deprive ourselves of many good opportunities.
How long have you tried something unusual and radically new for you? Go beyond your usual life. Visit new places, meet new people, try new things. The new gives rise to new opportunities that I did not even know about. Stop sitting in a shell like a cowardly turtle. Look outside and you will see a lot of interesting things.
Avoiding doing the right thing
We love to do extraneous things and avoid real work. Watch the series, play on the computer, sit on a social network. Do not do what has long been necessary. Start learning a foreign language, improve your qualifications, take courses, engage in self-education.
What not to do? You yourself know perfectly well what you need to do, but you do not do it. You are lazy, waiting for a sign from above and go with the flow. Do what you need if you want to achieve your dreams and goals.
Fear of being wrong and fear of risk
“The one who does nothing is not mistaken, although this is his main mistake. Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy
Often we choose too proven options out of fear of mistakes. We do nothing or try a little so as not to lose. But this fear does not make it possible to play at full strength. As a result, the successes will be very modest or you will lose.
We all love guarantees so much that we are afraid to take risks. But in any business it takes a risk to try to climb to a new peak. There is no risk and competition only where no one wants to be. Learn to calculate and take reasonable risks. Stop being a coward.
Expectation of instant results and lack of persistence
Everyone wants to get a lot at once, but this does not happen. Luck is a capricious lady who gives only when you deserve it. Good luck will bother, put a spoke in the wheels and test your perseverance.
How much more are you worthy of? But when you prove with your perseverance, confidence and hard work, then everything will work out. Fate and luck surrender only to the strongest. The most stubborn. The most daring.
You still have time
All people think that they still have ahead and time in bulk. This is their biggest mistake, which they realize too late. You have no time. You either do everything now, or you agree that you don't need it. Your life will pass like a moment or a flash. Trust me.
What shouldn't be done in life? There are many things, actions and thoughts that make life worse. Get rid of them once and for all, before they poison your life. Once you stop making mistakes, there is more strength and opportunity. And with them happiness, success and prosperity.
