\"sad<\/a><\/p>\n

I really love this quote “you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough”. There are certain mistakes and wrong things almost everyone does in life and many don’t even realise it until it’s too late.<\/p>\n

Below are some of those wrong things you ought to stop doing.<\/p>\n

1. NOT KEEPING IN TOUCH AS YOU OUGHT TO <\/b><\/p>\n

You probably have that old friend or relative that’s a bit far from you and you always keep promising and planning to call or pay a visit \u2014 which you never do. Most times, you get to regret this when the person is no more or when it’s just too late.<\/p>\n

It’s important to keep in touch with your friends, family and loved ones \u2014 never wait till it’s too late.<\/p>\n

2. GETTING USED TO FAVOURS <\/b><\/p>\n

People get used to favours after it’s been done repeatedly and worse still, many get used to favours to the point where they now demand it as a right. If someone does a favour for you for a thousand times, appreciate it a thousand times.<\/p>\n

3. NOT APPRECIATING THE LITTLE THINGS <\/b><\/p>\n

People take things for granted to the point where little things don’t matter to them anymore. Don’t wait till you reach a huge milestone before you celebrate or appreciate it. Appreciate the little things in life, even if it’s just the simple things like being alive.<\/p>\n

4. SEEKING OTHER PEOPLE’S VALIDATION <\/b><\/p>\n

This is another wrong thing many people do in life. When you live your life according to what other people might say or do then you are living the wrong way. You don’t have to live your life seeking validation from others. <\/b><\/p>\n

5. TYING THEIR HAPPINESS TO MATERIAL THINGS AND OTHERWISE <\/b><\/p>\n

You must have surely heard someone say “I’d be happy when I have a new car” or “I’d be happy when I’m married”. The truth is that people like this would rarely get happy after tying their happiness to an item, even when they actualise their goals.<\/p>\n

When you tie your happiness to something, you don’t live in today anymore and that’s a risk.<\/p>\n

6. FEEL EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT <\/b><\/p>\n

Many people feel that everything has to be perfect before they become happy or live a fulfilled life. This is a terrible way to live your life. Things can’t\u00a0always be perfect; try to find happiness even in today’s imperfection.<\/p>\n

7. TO THINK PROBLEMS SHOULD GO AWAY QUICKLY <\/b><\/p>\n

Everyone hates to be faced with life’s challenges and many only wish that problems should come and go quickly. Life could bring certain challenges and rather than wish them away, face the challenges with all determination, while still living life to the fullest.<\/p>\n

8. LIVE LIFE ON WISHES\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

It’s good to have goals, it’s good to have ambitions, but it’s terrible to live life on wishes. Have goals, have ambitions, have dreams and work hard to achieve them. It’s wrong to only keep wishing and wishing \u2013 and many people are guilty of this.<\/p>\n

9. LIVING IN REGRET <\/b><\/p>\n

Many live their life in regrets and the worst part about living in regrets is that regrets wouldn’t solve the problem or even bring a solution; it would only make things worse for you.<\/p>\n

\n

Like Paulo Coelho once said: “People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.” Think about the wrong things you do continually in life and try to stop them.<\/p>\n
