1. Not
loving you.
You are the most important person in your life. Without
you there is no you. Make sure to love
yourself good enough for others to be envious. Don’t let anyone treat you less
than you deserve. It is important to love yourself enough to walk away from
things that no longer work for you. It could be a job, relationship, people...
As long as it does not work or add value to your life, please bounce ….walk
away.
2. Not
having a good relationship with God.
Buddy, this life can be tough at times! You will
have your friend ditch you at the hardest time of your life. You will have
another lie to you continuous on how they cannot be available. A third one will
give you a straight No when you need them most. So what do you do when life is
all this tough? Woe unto you if you will not have a personal relationship with God,
who promises to be close than a brother! In 2015 ensure that God is your number
one priority!
3. Not
having time for your friends and family.
No ’wind’ from whichever direction should come into
your life and make you trade you longtime relationships with your friends or
family. This is an abomination! No wind lasts forever please understand that. It
can only last for a while. Enjoy it while it lasts but keep your eyes on your family
and friends to make sure they do not go with the wind! I hope that is so clear.
In short, don’t trade you family and friends for ‘no-thing’. Period.
4. Getting
advice from the wrong sources.
Unless you are a supper human listen to good advice.
This advice could be from your 5 year old daughter but as long its good advice,
please listen to it. We all know when good advice comes knocking, it those
words that pierce your heart in such a way that you want to object but deep
within you know it’s the plain truth. Please vet your advisers too, are they preaching
water and drinking wine? More importantly get a mentor, someone who is more
reasonable than you are … to slap sense into you when things fall apart.
5. Sticking
into an abusive relationship.
Now where do I start with this! Now let me say I
will still need a few more years of experience to write on this topic. However,
the few years in my basket can give me a leeway to say a word or two. Relationships
are a two way, if they don’t love you as much as you do ..forget about it.
However silly you act they will just despise you. You must know beyond no doubt
that someone really loves you just the way you are. Abuse in relationship is not just the beating…
No… It is actually more emotional, just like any other form! Do not allow yourself
to be a doormat for anyone to step on you any time the leave or come in. Love yourself
buddy.
6. Spending
your Money to just show off.
Now for your information those who have ‘it’ are
trying to play low so that we don’t notice. So anytime we see you trying so
hard to fit in..We just feel so sorry for you. Please stop. We all want to own
the whole world but then it’s not possible. Please invest your money wisely .
Let your money work for you. Live within your means… Getting a loan you cannot
afford to buy things that you don’t need is not progress but foolishness.
7. Expecting
everything to be just about you.
Now my friend I can assure you all humanity need a
lil’ bit of attention, you live in a world full of billions of awesome people. Why
on earth would you think that we can all focus on you? Just before you get
offended here is the secret. Think about others and others will think about
you! Its that simple.
Do not wait until it is too late, to learn what is important!
