5 Ways You Ruin Your Life without Knowing





Life is not a straight line and it’s not a set timeline of milestones. It’s ok if you don’t finish school, get married and get a job and make tons of money, start a family and live comfortably by a certain age or any age at all.
You’re allowed to backtrack and figure things out. It’s ok to take your time, but we often forget that. We feel pressured and don’t know why. That is how you can end up ruining your life.

1.      You ruin your life by choosing the wrong person;
The kinds of friends we walk with determines how the events of our lives are shapened
Why do you need to be somebody’s rather than some bodies? A love bred out of convenience, coming from the need to sleep beside someone, will not inspire you. We need the kind of relationship that motivates us to be better and the kind of intimacy that is rare rather than right there. Don’t be afraid of being alone and make an effort and fight for the right kind of love.
2. You ruin your life by letting your past govern it.
Certain things in life will happen: heartbreak, confusion, and days when you feel like you aren’t special. You cannot let these define you – they were only moments. Don’t allow negative events in your life to outline how you view yourself, or you will view the world around you very negatively and miss out on opportunities, and relationships. If you don’t allow yourself to move past what happened, you will keep on justifying, reliving, and fueling a perception that shouldn’t have existed in the first place

3. You ruin your life when you compare yourself to others.
Forget Instagram followers and money. These things do not define your compassion, your intelligence, or your happiness. We get caught up in what our friends are liking, who our significant others are following, and at the end of the day this not only ruins our lives, but it also ruins us.

4. You ruin your life by desensitizing yourself.
Sadly, today showing you care is compared to being crazy. We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us. However, it’s nothing to be ashamed of and there’s something beautiful and magical when you strip down and are honest with those who are important to you. Express, express, express. Don’t harden yourself to the world, and be bold in who, and how, you love.

5. You ruin your life by tolerating it.
At the end of the day you should be excited about everything. When you settle for anything less than what you desire, you destroy the possibilities inside of you. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will you have a beautiful life.
