'Truths About Life 'you need to hear before it's Too Late.
Life is all about growing, thinking, making decisions, learning new things, changing and accepting these changes for they happen for a reason. One fact about life in general, people will leave definitely even if it's not today, someday it's bound to happen. The leave aspect could be death, failed relationship, failed friendship or even your old self thereby awakening a new you.
Using myself for instance, I learnt so many things about life the hard way because there was no one to help me with better thoughts or ideas on how I will go about tempting life situations. Thankfully, I am here to help and guide you on life facts you need to know so you don't regret.
Below are '20 life advice' to help guide you through so you don't fall on the wrong path.
1. Self-love and confidence: This is the first and foremost advice you will be receiving. Don't let what anybody have to say define whatsoever about you. Make sure you are in alignment with your decision and your mind is at peace with that decision. Act confident in anything you are doing even if you don't know or not sure; your confidence will definitely pave your way.
2. Never procrastinate:
Procastination is a very deadly act. Procastination is when you abandon what is meant to be done now for later in the process of adjusting when it is meant to be done, you forget entirely and unknowingly to do it. This procastination has done so many harm than good in my life and of many I know. Take note, when you procastinate, you will never do it again until it becomes late.
3. Travel if you have the money:
Traveling helps you alot in reliving stress, tention, work , thinking and many more. If you have enough, travel and tell me your experience and how you felt. Go on a solo vacation or with just few of your friends or family ensure you go with the mindset of relaxing , forget about work, school, just do you and enjoy nature.
4. Save, it will save you:
Start keeping little money, save a little bit. Don't use all the money giving to you be it from your parents or relatives or from admirers. Your savings now will save you later in the future when you are stranded.
5. Practice gratitude
Learn to appreciate and be grateful for the things in your life, people in your life, good and bad days, every single moment of your life, cherish it and be grateful for life. Just like they say "thank me today, tomorrow I will help you again if you need my help". Same goes with life, be grateful for everything you are privileged to have because some don't have it or they are desperately looking for it.
6. Focus on your happiness
Do what makes you happy. Don't care or listen to what others have to say about you. Do you. If you don't make yourself happy or find happiness in everything you do no one will help you do it why? Because they are in search or quest for their own happiness. You don't know your enemy until they show themselves so be happy so they don't get happy over your sadness.
7. Keep journals
Dont think journal keeping or better still writing diary is for little children alone. Anybody can own a journal; it helps you keep track of your life and helps you remember important informations. I can tell you that till now I still write journals because it has helped me so many times. I use my journal to take note of important happening I don't want to forget or for record keeping. It help alot.
8. Never beg for love and attention
Never beg for love and attention. If they truly are meant to stay in your life, reasons to love you and shower you with attention will always be there. Just like a mother will always care for her children because the love is there naturally. If it is meant for you, it will show. If people you are trying so hard to keep are not reciprocating same energy, please that relationship is not healthy. Leave that toxic ship be it relation ship or friendship.
9. Identify your real friends and fake friends
At this stage in life you should be able to differenctiate between your real and genuine friends from your fake friends that are with you for a reason. Not everybody in your life love you for who you are. Some are there because of what you have or what they are gaining from you. Once what they are looking for or gaining from you is finished, they will ditch you.
10. Stop trying to please everyone
With a very loud micro phone Stop Trying To Please Everyone. They don't really appreciate your efforts because a time will come when they will count that one thing you did wrong and forget the millions of good you have been doing. Once you are not comfortable with something, say it or react showing you don't appreciate it. Don't keep shut because you are trying to please anybody. Be you be confident.
11. Embrace failure
There is no success story without failure. Every success story have a breakdown period, bad days, moments of failure; any successful person telling you otherwise wants you to quit on time and doesn't want your progress. Aslong as you are on a quest for something great, then get ready to fail, this failures helps you recognize your weak points, where needs correction. We learn from our mistakes.
12. Don't fall too quick
Be it love ,be it job opportunity, be it giveaway; never fall for it quickly. That's why we are humans. We are meant to think and analyse and reasons why we should do anything. Think if it will favour you at the long run or favour you at the short run or if you will be the one at the losing end, if you will also gain. Think and rethink before accepting attractive offers.
13. Stop being too forgiving
Human being are very manipulative. Don't be over forgiving, they know what they are doing. People always want to feel superior to their peers thereby using every opportunity they get to step on others. If deep within you , you feel offended, confront the person and demand for an explanation don't forgive easily buh forgive quickly. Forgive but don't forget .
14. Take responsibility
Start taking responsibility of happenings in your life. From your 20s you should know you are no longer a teenager and need to start making amends and tangible plans for your life. Party, play, drink but do everything responsibly. Don't over do things .
15. Be you/ do you
Do what makes you happy. Don't stop doing what you love or have passion for because of what other people think. Aslong as it makes you happy and you get genuie peace of mund when you are doing it, continue my love you are on the right track.
16. Love your parents
There is no one that loves and care for you more than your parents. I know sometimes they can be very annoying and frustrating but they are trying to correct you. Even when you feel they don't understand you, better than ignore them, talk to them so they can help you in ways they can.
17. Success takes time
Anybody in a quest for success should just get this hint from me. "Success takes a whole lot of time". Don't let anyone tell you there is a short cut to success. Short cuts don't always end well. Talking from experience.
18. Start planning your future
Know what you want for your self. Plan your growth strategy towards success. At some point you should start thinking about things you need to do for yourself to grow. Your future should be your priority don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Start planning now and enjoy it at the long run.
19. Embrace growth
Growth is constant and growth involves failing and starting again and in the process of starting again, learn from your mistakes so you can avoid them and move to the next phase. Don't be afraid to fail. Most success stories have a period of trial and error.
20. Enjoy , flex, play but still work
The last on the list; enjoy your life to the fullest. You don't live twice so while alive enjoy the experience. Flex, play, travel, drink, do so many things you would like to do but there is a but, do these things wisely. Don't over do anything.
