25 Things You Need To Stop Wasting Your Time On. by enigmagu1(m): 10:37am On Jul 08, 2014
1. Distractions that keep you from special
moments with special people.

– Pay
attention to the little things, because
when you really miss someone you miss
the little things the most, like just
laughing together. Go for long walks.
Indulge in great conversations. Count
your mutual blessings. Let go for a little
while and just BE together.

2. Compulsive busyness.

– Schedule time
every day to not be busy. Have
dedicated downtime – clear points in the
day to reflect, rest, and recharge. Don’t
fool yourself; you’re not so busy that you
can’t afford a few minutes of sanity.


3. Negative thinking about your current
situation.

– Life is like a mirror; we get
the best results when we smile. So talk
about your blessings more than you talk
about your problems. Just because
you’re struggling doesn’t mean you’re
failing. Every great success requires
some type of worthy struggle to get there.

4. The needless drama around you.

– Be wise
enough to walk away from the nonsense
around you. Focus on the positives, and
soon the negatives will be harder to see.

5. The desire for everything you don’t have. –

No, you won’t always get exactly what
you want, but remember this: There are
lots of people who will never have what
you have right now. The things you take
for granted, someone else is praying for.
Happiness never comes to those who
don’t appreciate what they already have.

6. Comparing yourself to everyone else.

Social comparison is the thief of
happiness. You could spend a lifetime
worrying about what others have, but it
wouldn’t get you anything.


7. Thinking about who you were or what you
had in the past.

– You’re not the same
person you were a year ago, a month
ago, or a week ago. You’re always
growing. Experiences don’t stop. That’s
life.

8. Worrying about the mistakes you’ve made.

– It’s OK if you mess up; that’s how you
get wiser. Give yourself a break. Don’t
give up. Great things take time, and
you’re getting there. Let your mistakes
be your motivation, not your excuses.
Decide right now that negative
experiences from your past won’t predict
your future.

9. Worrying about what everyone thinks and
says about you.

– Don’t take things too
personally, even if it seems personal.
Rarely do people do things because of
you; they do things because of them . You
honestly can’t change how people treat
you or what they say about you. All you
can do is change how you react and who
you choose to be around.

10. Self-deception.


– Your life will improve
only when you take small chances. And
the first and most difficult chance you
can take is to be honest with yourself.

11. A life path that doesn’t feel right.


– Life is
to be enjoyed, not endured. When you
truly believe in what you’re doing, it
shows, and it pays. Success in life is for
those who are excited about where they
are going. It’s about walking
comfortably in your own shoes, in the
direction of YOUR dreams.

12. Everyone else’s definition of success and
happiness. – You simply can’t base your
idea of success and happiness on other
people’s opinions and expectations.

13. Those who insist on using and manipulating
you.


– What you allow is what will
continue. Give as much as you can, but
don’t allow yourself to be used. Listen to
others closely, but don’t lose your own
voice in the process.

14. Trying to impress everyone.

– One of the
most freeing things we learn in life is
that we don’t have to like everyone,
everyone doesn’t have to like us, and
that’s perfectly OK. No matter how you
live, someone will be disappointed. So
just live your truth and be sure YOU
aren’t the one who is disappointed in the
end.

15. All the fears holding you back.

– Fear is a
feeling, not a fact. The best way to gain
strength and self-confidence is to do
what you’re afraid to do. Dare to change
and grow. In the end, there is only one
thing that makes a dream completely
impossible to achieve: Lack of action
based on the fear of failure.

16. Doubting and second-guessing yourself.

When in doubt just take the next small
step. Sometimes the smallest step in the
right direction ends up being the biggest
step of your life.

17. People who continuously dump on your
dreams.

– It’s better to be lonely than
allow negative people and their opinions
derail you from your destiny. Don’t let
others crush your dreams. Do just once
what they say you can’t do, and you will
never pay attention to their negativity
again.

18. Thinking the perfect time will come.

– You
can’t always wait for the perfect
moment. Sometimes you must dare to
do it because life is too short to wonder
what could have been.

19. Band-Aids and temporary fixes.

– You can’t
change what you refuse to confront. You
can’t find peace by avoiding things. Deal
with problems directly before they deal
with your happiness

20. Close-minded judgments. –

Open your
mind before you open your mouth.
Don’t hate what you don’t know. The
mind is like a parachute; it doesn’t work
when it’s closed.

21. Other people’s mistakes and oversights. –

Today, be tolerant of people’s mistakes
and oversights. Sometimes good people
make bad choices. It doesn’t mean
they’re bad; it simply means they are
human.

22. Resentment.

– Kindness is not to be
mistaken for weakness, nor forgiveness
for acceptance. It’s about knowing that
resentment is not on the path to
happiness. Remember, you don’t forgive
people because you’re weak. You forgive
them because you’re strong enough to
know that people make mistakes.

23. Any hateful thoughts at all.

– Set an
example. Treat everyone with kindness
and respect, even those who are rude to
you – not because they are nice, but
because you are. Make kindness a daily
ritual; it’s what makes life happier and
more fulfilling in the long run.

24. Regrets of any kind.

– You don’t have to be
defined by the things you once did or
didn’t do. Don’t let yourself be
controlled by regret. Maybe there’s
something you could have done
differently, or maybe not. Either way,
it’s merely something that has already
happened. Leave the unchangeable past
behind you as you give yourself to the
present moment.

25. Every point in time other than right now. –

Don’t cry over the past, it’s gone. Don’t
stress too much about the future, it
hasn’t arrived. Do your best to live
NOW and make this moment worth
living.
