8 Important Lessons That Most People Take A Lifetime To Learn
4. Work Hard, But Don’t Work Too Hard
Chase your dreams and work hard to make them come true. Work your backside off all day long, but go home to your family and be with them when the clock strikes five. One of the biggest regrets that dying people have is that they didn’t spend enough time with those who meant the most. They missed their child’s soccer game. They failed to go out on dates with their spouse. They never visited their parents while they were alive.
While it is so important to pursue your dreams and work feverishly to accomplish your goals, strive to keep a balance in your life. Make time for your family, friends, and yourself.
5. Procrastination Turns You Into A Slave
Time is a precious resource and, unfortunately, it is easier than ever to waste it in today’s world. When you procrastinate and waste your valuable time, you become a slave to the past. You’ll have to work harder to play catch up, but you’ll just keep spinning your wheels. You’ll keep looking backwards instead of forwards.
If, instead of letting laziness win, you can be proactive and take care of what needs to be done now, you can confidently move into tomorrow without the shackles of yesterday holding you back. Resist the urge to procrastinate, even though the temptation is everywhere.
6. Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Even though most of us have probably heard this popular phrase, it can take a lifetime to fully understand it. We believe the lies of the world, of other people, and from ourselves. We allow people to continually mistreat us and we choose to believe the words that promise it won’t happen again.
We tell ourselves that we are going to change our lives (get healthier, finish our education, make more money), but we never take action towards our goals. The words provide temporary comfort, but action is what truly defines who we are and who others are. If you can talk the talk, you should walk the walk. Be true to the words that leave your mouth, but trust others based on their actions rather than their words.
