TEN GREAT MISTAKES YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR!

Outlined below are ten great mistakes any living being on this planet should watch against. If you have made them before, do not criticize yourself but seek advice. However, if you keep on repeating them, then you will definitely live to regret it. I have warned you. Note these mistakes and AVOID THEM!

#First Mistake- Inferiority Complex

Many philosophers are of the profound opinion that having an inferiority complex is one of the worst mistakes people make in life. An inferiority complex is nothing but begrudging your own life and demeaning your own abilities. It wrecks you system and throws you into a hell of disbelief in the profound potential inherent in your own life. The first person you need to believe on is yourself because you can never influence others when you don’t know your worth. People who have inferiority complex tend to follow other’s part and therefore will have no satisfaction at the end. This class of people follows other’s path and lives other people’s dreams. They have lost their unique identity as a human with distinct fingerprints.

# Second Mistake- Irrational comparison of others

Most people compare themselves to others, which definitely isn't wrong in one part of the equation. It helps in knowing where you stand and helps you assess yourself. But unnecessarily comparing yourself to others with no purpose or objective in mind will lead you nowhere in life- it definitely is one of the biggest mistakes in life. Everyone has a distinct finger print as such everyone is destined to be unique. You shouldn’t be preach or try to walk like your mentor even Elisha’s ministry was different from Elijah’s and Peter’s different from Jesus’. You can only be you!

# Third Mistake- Allowing Past Achievements to Control You

“Never allow yesterday’s success to drag you into the lull of today’s complacency, for that is the great foundation for failure”; because you have made yesterday’s exams doesn’t mean it is the same exam questions today, Life has different questions and answers to every phase. So avoid being the man of the past. Can you read a newspaper dated 21^st May 2015 and still expect to be current? Even if it was yesterday’s paper, you  cannot be current.

# Fourth Mistake- Procrastination

Procrastination will bring in unanticipated negativity in your life. It will make you think there’s time while you are wasting time. You will keep what ought to be done today for tomorrow. This is a big risk. If you procrastinate too much, arrest that attitude with immediate effect.

# Fifth Mistake- Disrespecting Your Parents

Everybody undergoes the phases of birth, ageing, sickness and death. Know this for a fact- you will be a parent someday. Avoid disrespecting your parents. Show them love and care if you do not want to be rejected by your own children at old age. If not, you will weep bitterly while you are old.

# Sixth Mistake- Letting Your Ego Rule Your Decisions

One of the worst mistakes of life is letting your ego control and direct your decisions. Ego is perhaps the worst of human qualities and does nothing but destroy relationships with the people who are close to you. Keep your ego at bay, for it will lead you nowhere in life. Ego is a sign of pride, and Pride is the road to destruction. Do you know some youth refuse to learn a trade because of ego? They want to be a University graduate and while waiting for admission, they sit down at home claiming they are too big to learn any trade.

 

# Seventh Mistake- Choosing the Wrong Kind of Person to be their partner.

Yes, marry a person you love. But be sure you understand what love is first. It isn't just physical attraction and passion. Those things are vital, but they're not enough. When you experience adversity in life -- and you will -- will the person by your side make your burden easier to bear? Or harder?

Being alone is not the worst thing in life. I have experienced good times and bad times in my life, both alone and with a partner, and there is no question that having the wrong partner is worse than being alone. Even the bible warns that it is more pleasant to stay at the roof top instead of living in a large house with a nagging wife. Be warned!

# Eighth Mistake- Lack of Financial Discipline

A lot of youth these days earn and spend as if life is predictable. Well, the journey of life is the most unpredictable thing ever! Make sure you save for your retirement right from the time you get your first salary. If not, you definitely are making one of the worst mistakes in life.

# Ninth Mistake- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result

Continuing to do the same thing and getting the same result yet wondering why you haven't "done better" For example; in relationships - continue to go after the wrong type of guy/lady and finding yourself hurt all the time or complaining that you haven't found your ideal career but keep shopping the job boards instead of trying something new.

Learn from your mistakes and do something different so you don't keep making them!
