10 pieces of life advice I find that people do not take seriously enough:<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t Make Decisions When You\u2019re Angry\u201d – I\u2019ve seen people relapse on drugs, cheat on their spouses, get into physical fights, and quit their jobs simply because they were \u201cangry.\u201d Don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe Yourself.\u201d – So many people suffer because they feel pressure to be something they\u2019re not. They can feel this pressure from parents, peers, co-workers, friends or even their significant others. I\u2019ve seen women get breast implants because of this pressure, men marry women (when they are actually gay), and people going into careers they hate because it will make someone else happy. Be yourself, because being something else will make you miserable.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t Sweat the Small Stuff.\u201d – This is solid advice for a happy life. Choose your battles, and be able to let the little things go. Once you realize what \u201cbig things\u201d are (cancer, financial hardship, etc.), you will wish you focused on the right things.<\/p>\n
\u201cKnow Your Worth\u201d – When you know your worth, you don\u2019t put up with things that devalue you\u2026and that is *very valuable.* It will impact what you\u2019ll put up with in relationships, in your jobs, and in life. Knowing your worth has the ability to protect you from a lot of life\u2019s struggles – if you act consistently with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Okay to Ask for Help.\u201d – Yes! Do you know how many people I\u2019ve talked to, that wished they would have gotten help earlier? It would have given them back *years* of their life\u2026but instead they waited until they were at an absolute breaking point – losing opportunities, jobs, relationships, sometimes even their kids. Ask for help, and ask for help early.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho You Marry is One of the Most Important Decisions You\u2019ll Make.\u201d – Take this one seriously. You will literally have to see this person every day of your life, you will spend more time with them than anyone else\u2026so make it someone uplifting, supportive and wonderfully fitting to you. You will also have a financial future largely impacted by their spending habits, earning, saving ability, etc.. Man or woman, divorce can devastate you emotionally and financially.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake Time for People You Love.\u201d – Putting off seeing your grandmother or parents because you wanted to do other things might not seem like a big deal today\u2026but one day it will be.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Best Time to Start is Now\u201d – Whether saving for your future or trying to write that novel, start today. Time gets away from us very quickly, and before you know it 20 years have passed and you didn\u2019t do those things you wanted to do. I have seen a lot of people who hold regrets\u2026try not to have them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Best Revenge is Living Well.\u201d – So many people get stuck in grudges and anger that it messes up their own lives – especially emotionally. There is a great saying that states that \u201canger is something you carry for someone else\u2019s mistakes\u201d and it\u2019s the truth. Leave those who have hurt you in the past, take care of your own needs, and live well. It does you no good to do otherwise.<\/p>\n
\u201cTreat Others the Way You\u2019d Want to be Treated.\u201d – This is certainly advice we don\u2019t take seriously enough. If we all treated others how we\u2019d wish to be treated, the world would certainly be a much better place for us all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
