It's easy to focus on the now, but many people grow to resent their past choices in life
as they get older.
We don't want that for you, and instead want to help you get the absolute most in life.
Therefore, in this video we look at 5 lessons in life people learn too late, so that you
can learn from the mistakes of others....
1.
Know What You Want - When you live life, be clear on what you
want, whether it be money, fame, a family or adventure, just be clear on what kind of
life you want to lead - The fact is, most young people have no clarity
on what they want, so rather than chasing their dreams, they live the life that they
think others want them to lead - That means to study, earn a degree, get
a job, one that they might hate but think others will respect, earn their living and
raise a family - If that's what you want, that's great and
you should do it, but honestly much of the time it's not what people want, it's not their
ambition or interest, so instead know what you want so that later on down the line, you
know you've lived as you wanted to
2.
Follow Your Passion - Following your passion in life is critical
to leading a meaningful and valuable life, yet so many people fail to do this and do
what Warren Buffet refers to as sleepwalking through life
- The problem is most people actually don't follow their passions, instead focusing much
more on following the life they think they're meant to lead by doing a job they hate
- That in itself might be fine, as we need to earn an income and need to make a living,
but fundamentally that shouldn't mean you should work to follow your passions
- Because when you're older, you don't want the regrets of never having tried to live
your life in the way you wanted
3.
Have Fun - It seems obvious, but people forget this
fundamental rule in life, which is to enjoy your life to the best of your ability and
circumstances - After all, the chances of you being born
are nothing short of a minor miracle, so life is a gift to begin that's to be cherished
rather than wasted - Knowing this in hand, knowing your time
is limited, would you really want to live life on someone else's terms?
Doing things you don't want to do just because it makes someone else happy
- Instead, focus on doing what makes you happy, which doesn't mean to be selfish, but just
something that's meaningful and of value to you
4.
Live Without Fear - We're constantly living our lives in fear,
and it controls and inhibits us from doing things that could change our lives for the
better - Even when we don't think we're afraid, chances
are you have doubts, and it's usually about what others think or feel about us when we
try something new or different - However, the issue is that much like failing
to follow your passion, if you let fear stop you, you'll find that later on in life you'll
grow to have regrets and possibly even resentment - Instead, take a chance, because while you
might fail, at least if you give it a shot you can at least take solace that you did
try and did something that the majority of people wouldn't even dare to do
5.
Take Responsibility - We often spend a large portion of our time
complaining when we're not happy about something in our lives, but rather than complaining,
it's much more important to take responsibility - People complain as a way of venting out
frustrations, which can help in the short term, but in the long term it serves little
benefit - After all, most people might be willing
to hear a complaint out of sympathy or support, but when push comes to shove chances are little
to no action will follow to start enacting change for the better
- That's up to you, and that's something only you can control, so take responsibility and
live life in the way you want to
Do any of these apply to you?
