Love 11 Things You Forget You‟re Doing Wrong
WHEN YOU STOP doing the wrong things, the right things eventually catch you. So make sure you're not...
1. Making blind judgments
Too often we jump to conclusions only to cause ourselves and others unnecessary worry, hurt, and anger. So exercise restraint, be kind, and save the jumping for joy.
2. Expecting people to be perfect
When you open up to love, you must be open to getting hurt as well. When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can start appreciating them for who they truly are.
3. Focusing on everything and everyone except you
Make the world a better place one person at a time, and start with you. If you‟re looking out into the world to find where your purpose resides, stop—and look inside instead. Look at who you already are, the lifestyle you choose to live, and what makes you come alive. Follow them into the world with courage and newfound purpose.
4 - Holding on to the wrong things for too long
To let go isn't to forget. Letting go involves cherishing the memories, overcoming the obstacles, and moving on. It‟s all about finding the strength to embrace life‟s changes and continue taking positive steps forward.
5. Denying your mistakes
Mistakes are almost always forgivable if you have the courage to admit them. Sometimes falling flat on your face is exactly what‟s needed to help you see things from a totally different perspective and get back on track.
6. Avoiding your fears
Approach your fears, sit with them, and really get to know them. Your fears are your friends; their only job is to show you undeveloped parts of yourself that you need to cultivate to live a happy life. The more you do the things you‟re most afraid of doing, the more life opens up.
7. Accepting less than you know you deserve
Do not sacrifice your heart or your dignity. Love yourself enough to never lower your standards for the wrong reasons. Be willing to walk away, with your head held high.
8. Storing mental clutter
Do some sorting, throw away regrets and old pains, and take only the treasures worth keeping: the lessons, the love, and the best .of what you've lived.
9. Worrying about things that can‟t be changed
One of the happiest moments is when you feel the courage to let go of what you can‟t change. The past cannot be changed, forgotten, or erased. However, the lessons learned can prepare you for a brighter tomorrow.
10. Letting hope gradually slip away
We can live without a lot of things, but hope isn't one of them. Cultivate hope by latching on to stories of triumph and words that inspire. But most of all, listen to the quiet whisper of your inner strength when it tells you that you will get through this stronger than you were before.
11. Thinking it's too late
Whether you know it or not, the rest of your life is being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices, or you can move forward. The rest of your life is being shaped by the goals you chase, the choices you make, and the actions you take. The rest of your life starts right now.
