Here are ten choices that ultimately lead to this phrase of regret,
and how to elude them:
1. Wearing a mask to impress others. – If the face you always show the
world is a mask, someday there will be nothing beneath it. Because
when you spend too much time concentrating on everyone else's
perception of you, or who everyone else wants you to be, you
eventually forget who you really are. So don'tfear the judgments of
others; you know in your heart who you areand what's true to you. You
don't have to be perfect to impress and inspire people . Let them be
impressed andinspired by how you deal with your imperfections.
2. Letting someone else create your dreams for you. – The greatest
challenge in life is discovering who you are; the second greatest is
being happywith what you find. A big part of this is your decision to
stay true to your own goals and dreams. Do you have people who
disagree with you? Good. It means you're standing your ground and
walking your own path. Sometimes you'll do things considered crazy by
others, but when you catch yourself excitedly losing track of time,
that's when you'll know you're doing the right thing. Read The 4-Hour

3. Keeping negative company. – Don't let someone who has a bad
attitude give it to you. Don't let them get to you. They can't pull
the trigger if you don't hand them the gun. When you remember that
keeping the company of negative people is a choice, instead of an
obligation, you free yourself to keep the company of compassion
instead of anger, generosity instead of greed, and patience instead of
anxiety.
4. Being selfish and egotistical. – A life filledwith loving deeds and
good character is the best tombstone. Those who you inspired and
shared your love with will remember how you made them feel long after
your time has expired. So carve your name on hearts , not stone.
What you have done for yourself alone dies with you; what you have
done for others and the world remains.
5. Avoiding change and growth. – If you want to know your past look
into your present conditions. If you wantto know your future look
into your present actions. You must let go of the old to make way for
the new; the old way is gone, never to come back. If you acknowledge
this right now and take steps to address it, you will position
yourself for lasting success. The Power of Habit .
6. Giving up when the going gets tough. – There are no failures, just
results. Even if things don't unfold the way you had expected, don't
be disheartened or give up. Learn what you can and move on. The one
who continuesto advance one step at a time will win in the end.
Because the battleis always won far away and long before the final
victory. It's a process that occurs with small steps, decisions, and
actions that gradually build upon each other and eventually lead to
that glorious moment of triumph.
7. Trying to micromanageevery little thing. – Life should be touched,
not strangled. Sometimes you've got to relax and let life happen
without incessant worry and micromanagement. Learn to let go a little
before you squeeze tootight. Take a deep breath. When the dust
settles and you can once again see the forest for the trees, take the
next step forward. You don't have to know exactly where you're going
to be headed somewhere great. Everything in life is in perfect order
whether you understand it yet or not. It just takes some time to
connect all the dots.
8. Settling for less than you deserve. – Be strong enough to let goand
wise enough to wait for what you deserve. Sometimes you have to get
knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand up taller than you
ever were before. Sometimes your eyes need to be washed by your tears
so you can see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer vision
again. Don't settle.
9. Endlessly waiting until tomorrow. – The trouble is, you always
think you have more time than you do. But one day you will wake up
and there won't be any more time to work on the things you've always
wanted to do. And at that point you either will have achieved the
goals you set for yourself, or you will have a list of excuses for why
you haven't. Read The Last Lecture .
10. Being lazy and wishy-washy. – The world doesn't owe you anything,
you owe theworld something. So stop daydreaming andstart DOING.
Develop abackbone, not a wishbone. Take full responsibility for
yourlife – take control. You are important andyou are needed. It's
too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday.
Someday is now; the somebody the world needs is YOU .
