10 CHOICES YOU'LL SURLY REGRET IN FUTURE...
If you're involved in any of these, please try to stop it now as failure to do so may result in tears and regrets
.
They are called Choices because you choose to do
them.
.
1. Wearing a mask to impress others. – If the face
you always show the world is a mask, someday
there will be nothing beneath it. Because when you
spend too much time concentrating on everyone
else’s perception of you, or who everyone else
wants you to be, you eventually forget who you
really are. So don’t fear the judgments of others;
you know in your heart who you are and what’s
true to you. You don’t have to be perfect to
impress and inspire people. Let them be
impressed and inspired by how you deal with your
imperfections.
.
2. Letting someone else create your dreams for
you. – The greatest challenge in life is discovering
who you are; the second greatest is being happy
with what you find. A big part of this is your
decision to stay true to your own goals and
dreams. Do you have people who disagree with
you? Good. It means you’re standing your ground
and walking your own path. Sometimes you’ll do
things considered crazy by others, but when you
catch yourself excitedly losing track of time, that’s
when you’ll know you’re doing the right thing.
.
3. Keeping negative company. – Don’t let
someone who has a bad attitude give it to you.
Don’t let them get to you. They can’t pull the
trigger if you don’t hand them the gun. When you
remember that keeping the company of negative
people is a choice, instead of an obligation, you
free yourself to keep the company of compassion
instead of anger, generosity instead of greed, and
patience instead of anxiety.
.
4. Being selfish and egotistical. – A life filled with
loving deeds and good character is the best
tombstone. Those who you inspired and shared
your love with will remember how you made them
feel long after your time has expired. So carve
your name on hearts, not stone. What you have
done for yourself alone dies with you; what you
have done for others and the world remains.
.
5. Avoiding change and growth. – If you want to
know your past look into your present conditions.
If you want to know your future look into your
present actions. You must let go of the old to
make way for the new; the old way is gone, never
to come back. If you acknowledge this right now
and take steps to address it, you will position
yourself for lasting success.
.
6. Giving up when the going gets tough. – There
are no failures, just results. Even if things don’t
unfold the way you had expected, don’t be
disheartened or give up. Learn what you can and
move on. The one who continues to advance one
step at a time will win in the end. Because the
battle is always won far away and long before the
final victory. It’s a process that occurs with small
steps, decisions, and actions that gradually build
upon each other and eventually lead to that
glorious moment of triumph.
.
7. Trying to micromanage every little thing. – Life
should be touched, not strangled. Sometimes
you’ve got to relax and let life happen without
incessant worry and micromanagement. Learn to
let go a little before you squeeze too tight. Take a
deep breath. When the dust settles and you can
once again see the forest for the trees, take the
next step forward. You don’t have to know exactly
where you’re going to be headed somewhere
great. Everything in life is in perfect order whether
you understand it yet or not. It just takes some
time to connect all the dots.
.
8. Settling for less than you deserve. – Be strong
enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what
you deserve. Sometimes you have to get knocked
down lower than you have ever been to stand up
taller than you ever were before. Sometimes your
eyes need to be washed by your tears so you can
see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer
vision again. Don’t settle.
.
9. Endlessly waiting until tomorrow. – The trouble
is, you always think you have more time than you
do. But one day you will wake up and there won’t
be any more time to work on the things you’ve
always wanted to do. And at that point you either
will have achieved the goals you set for yourself,
or you will have a list of excuses for why you
haven’t.
.
10. Being lazy and wishy-washy. – The world
doesn’t owe you anything, you owe the world
something. So stop daydreaming and start DOING.
Develop a backbone, not a wishbone. Take full
responsibility for your life – take control. You are
important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit
around and wait for somebody to do something
someday. Someday is now; the somebody the
world needs is YOU.
