When I wait back on life there are a lot of things that I have done that I wonder why I did them to begin with. I have came upwards with a listing of 10 things that I will never practise in my life again. Volition they be piece of cake, no, will I mess upward and struggle with them, yes, simply I will strive to stick to my promise.

  1. I will never feel sorry for myself ever again. For the longest time I would get very depressed and deplorable about my life, I took medication at one time and saw a couple of psychologists & psychiatrists for my bug. When I look back on some of my issues I realized that I made them a bigger deal than they should of been. Were there days that I was genuinely frustrated, sad and depressed, yes, only I have learned that I cannot dwell on them also long I take then much to be grateful for even if I do not encounter it all the fourth dimension.
  2. I will never blame anyone or annihilation on circumstances in my life just considering they do not become the style that I desire them to. We cannot control everything that happens in our lives but for the most function we are in control of things that happen in our lives. I would blame people and circumstances for things that were my fault like my obesity, being poor, my dating state of affairs or the reasons why I never lived past myself.
  3. I will never get into a word on social media about divisive topics in item race, faith or politics. I did a couple of times and it was a waste matter of my time, patience and free energy. People are going to believe what they do regardless of facts or non. I exercise not want to change people'south minds simply have a healthy discussion whether we disagree or non. Some people are not rational when information technology comes to salubrious argue and therefore information technology is non worth my time to get into an argument about it. Does that mean that I take no stance or thoughts about hot button topics, no of course I do. I simply know who to discuss them with and it is not everybody on social media.
  4. I will never vote again equally long equally I live. It amazes me when I tell people that I am never voting again they get offended like I told them that they cannot vote again. It is not that I practise non care about problems or that I do not take thoughts about what is going on in America, I just do not believe it matters who is in office and that my vote is worth something. I am not knocking people who do vote and are passionate about information technology. I accept been reading almost wealth building and entrepreneurship, that to me is worth more than of my fourth dimension and energy than who is going to exist the next senator of my state or president of my country. One of my best friends has never voted before in an election and you know what has happened, he has lived his damn life so will I.
  5. I will never picket a ridiculous amount of TV ever again. I take been morbidly obese for most of my developed life and the main culprit why is because of being a couch potato. I accept probably wasted virtually a quarter of my life watching television. I used to lookout 40-60 hours a week in telly for many years. When I await back on that it makes me so disgusted that I wasted that much time on something that wasn't that beneficial to begin with. I am not saying I volition never watch Television set ever again, merely not a ton of it like I used to. 1 thing I will practice more is read books and manufactures on self-development, that is not the easiest thing for me to do but I am working on it.
  6. I will never surrender on my goals and dreams but considering they are going to take a long time to reach them. "Never surrender on a dream just because of the time information technology will have to accomplish it. The fourth dimension will laissez passer anyway."-Earl Nightingale. That quote could not exist more concerning to this 1, success happens over time not overnight. I have forgotten that a lot when I want something in life and information technology has not happened when I wanted it to. The long term will assist me or anybody realize not to become complacent or settle for annihilation less than what they want.
  7. I will never let anyone think for me ever again. Nearly of my life I have been a follower, gullible, milquetoast and a people pleaser. Those things have made me weak and foolish. I will not just blindly concur with something or someone only because a certain church building told me to believe that way or my surround or the color of my skin. As well many people are sheep led to the slaughterhouse, I was one those sheep for a long fourth dimension but I chose my ain path. I will decide my own path and no i else volition for me.
  8. I volition never live in regret ever over again. If there are chances or risks I want to take I will take them whether they work out or not. I cannot be afraid of the unknown, the only way to discover out is by doing it. I had an opportunity most xiii years ago to teach in Nihon for reasons I will not get into on hither I did not take the opportunity. Up until a few years agone I take permit that decision consume at me and let it bother me. It has taught me to make the well-nigh of the opportunities that I will get from now on.
  9. I will never end laughing in my life. Even in some of the most depressing times in my life I have plant ways to laugh and it has been a heave to my ego, and helped me through some rough patches. Laughter has been the best form of medicine for me over the years. There has been scientific studies done on how laughter is not just a stress reliever just it is healthy for y'all too. People accept said I express joy sometimes when I shouldn't but information technology has helped me and I am going to go on doing it.
  10. I volition never dubiety myself always once more. Information technology does not hateful that I will not take moments of frustration, being unsure or feeling lost. But I volition keep fighting through those moments and moving forward because I believe in myself and my talents. Am I the most talented, skillful person in the globe, not by a long shot but I am okay with that. I besides know what my skills, value and talents are and I am at peace with that.

Every bit you read this commodity merely sit dorsum and recall in your own life things that y'all think yous should never get again. Will some be the same as mine, possibly, they all might be different but that is your decision to make just like these 10 are mine.
