“If only…” These two words paired together create one of the saddest
phrases in the English language.
Here are ten choices that ultimately lead to this phrase of regret, and
how to elude 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. Read The 4-Hour Workweek .
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. The Power of Habit .
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. Read The Last Lecture .
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 .
