[www.keralites.net] Mistakes We are All Guilty Of Making But Need To Stop Immediately!

 

12 Common Mistakes We're All Guilty Of Making But Need To Stop Immediately!   Mistakes teach us lessons. But repeating them isn't going to take us anywhere. We as humans have a tendency to make incorrigible mistakes that not only get us into trouble but can also ruin our lives.   Here are some common mistakes that we repeatedly make and should seriously stop. 1. We try to find benefits in relationships   'I will only talk to her when I have some work', 'I will marry someone who earns Rs.2 lacs per month', 'I only make friends who are rich'. We all try to find benefits and advantages with relationships. It's selfish on our part to attach a 'give and take' angle to something that we should cherish instead of make a business out of. A relationship should be based on respect, care and love - not hidden intentions. 2. We over-think and assume things   How many times have we had sleepless nights just because we thought things in our head that didn't even happen the next day? Well, a lot of us overthink for no reason. We also assume before knowing the entire background to a story, which then make us look stupid when the facts behind the story are revealed to us. 3. We do not appreciate what we have   This is one of the biggest mistakes we make, and it leads us to an unhappy life. We always feel the grass is greener on the other side and barren on our side. That wanting to be someone else makes us lose our own selves. Life ought to be different for different people. We must accept that and live it with full gusto and gratefulness. 4. We try to cling to things or people   Clinging to people and things only results in heartbreak. That's because people, after a while, get tired of our clingy attitude, and things, being perishable, perish, ending into nothing but dust. Thus, it's best to not run behind things and people who don't want us. 5. We keep higher expectations   Most of the time, keeping expectations leads to disappointment. When higher expectations don't yield results, it make us extremely unhappy. Expect nothing. 6. We are prejudiced and ignorant   Many of us keep prejudices against people based on their communities, religion and faith. It makes us rude and ignorant, which is so not how an ideal human is supposed to be.   7. We ignore health by making excuses of being busy   We millennials ignore our health as if it's someone else's business to keep us healthy. We make our sedentary lifestyle a scapegoat for not being active. We don't realise the adverse effects of not exercising when we're young. Guess we'll only become wise in our 40s. 8. We do everything in excess - from overeating to excessive talking   Food, when eaten in proportion is proved to be good for health. However, when we overeat, it's not only heavy on our digestive system, but it also proves as a deterrent to our thinking process. Similarly, talking without putting much thought can cause a slip of the tongue resulting in embarrassment. 9. We work too hard without a sense of direction   Because, without a sense of direction, all your hard work is futile. Goal-less work will never bear fruit, as nothing great will be accomplished if you don't plan. 10. We sell ourselves too short   Having low self-esteem is dangerous in today's world. That's because the world is ready to crush you if you don't stand up for yourself. 11. We lie without knowing how to lie   Lying, they say, is an art. But when one doesn't know the art, they fall flat on the face and get caught. We aren't advocating lying as a virtue. But a harmless lie doesn't hurt anyone. Only, you must be smart enough to do it. 12. We trust others instead of ourselves   It's a brutal world when you're all alone. That's a fact and you've got to accept it. Being gullible is a mistake that many commit. Putting faith in others and not in yourself will only make you regret your choices. Trusting someone is a huge risk that you've got to think twice before taking.
