You don't have to settle for the bare minimum.
It's just a choice you make every day.
If you feel like you're stalling, chances are you're tolerating things you shouldn't.
It's time to take back control of your life.
From now on, stop tolerating the following 20 things:
1. People who you us pull down. The relationships you have with the people around you should lift you up, not bring you down. Hang out with people who are nice, smart, upbeat and have the same attitude as you. With this book, you learn how to spot toxic people and how to avoid them.
2. A job or area of work that you hate. Don't get stuck in the first or second sector you fell into. Keep looking for the one that suits you best. And after a while, you're sure to find a job that you enjoy doing. If you find yourself working hard and loving every minute of the day, don't stop! You have found your happiness. Why ? Because hard work isn't that hard when you're passionate about your work.
3. Your own negativity. Become aware of the little voice in your head. Everyone talks to each other silently in their head but we are not always aware of what we are saying and how much it affects us. Try to listen to the thoughts that go through your head. If you have negative thoughts, try to stop them and replace them with positive thoughts.
4. Miscommunication. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Speak clearly. Ask questions. Clarify things until you understand them.
5. A disorganized home and office. Thoroughly clean your home and office to keep only the essentials. Make space in your home by getting rid of things you don't use. You will see that your productivity at work will increase tenfold.
6. Your habit of being late. Wake up 30 minutes earlier in the morning so you don't have to run like crazy. These 30 minutes will help you avoid tickets, delays and other things that stress you out for nothing.
7. The group effect. Often the only reason people want you to be like them is because once you are, they can ignore you and go about their business. Don't follow people like a sheep. Be yourself because that's the only person you can be.
8. An unhealthy body. Your health is your life. Don't waste it. Eat healthy, exercise and get a general check-up with your doctor every year. Discover here 17 cheap and good foods for your health.
9. The fear of change. Life is change. Every day is different. Every day is a new beginning and a new end. Become fully aware of it and know how to make the most of it.
10. Work without ever having fun. Have fun and have a good time when you can. If you're smiling, you're doing yourself good.
11. Ads with models that make you feel uncomfortable. Beauty catches the eye. A personality attracts the heart. Be proud to be yourself. You are already beautiful.
12. Not getting enough sleep. A tired mind is seldom productive.
13. Always do the same thing all the time. You are the sum of your life experiences. The more you experiment, the more interesting your life story becomes.
14. Personal greed. Don't let greed and deception get the better of you. Greed will take even the lucky ones to the graveyard.
15. A mountain of debt. Always live well below your means. Don't buy things you don't need. Always wait 2 days before making a big purchase. Create a personal budget to save money and stick with it.
16. Dishonesty. Living an honest life makes you feel good about yourself. And feeling good about yourself is priceless, period. Don't be dishonest and don't associate with people who are.
17. Infidelity. Intimate relationships are sacred because it is a circle of trust. If the two partners are not 100% in the same boat, it is not worth fighting for such a relationship.
18. A house where you don't feel safe. If you don't feel good at home, you'll never feel good anywhere. Build yourself a cozy nest in a peaceful area that you'll be proud to call "home".
19. Not being prepared enough. Life is unpredictable. And there's a big difference between being scared and being prepared. Always be prepared.
20. Inaction. Either you move to take your destiny into your own hands and seek new opportunities or someone will do it for you. Know that it is difficult to change things or move forward if you sit back in your chair, thinking.
And remember, you only have one life, but if you live it well, one is enough.
