Staying in a bad relationship.
It’s not worth spending your precious time in a relationship that doesn’t help you grow. When you’re old, you’ll remember the people who had an impact on your life and were there for you. You don’t want to give yourself to someone who is simply not worth it.
Caring too much about what other people think.
Stay true to who you are no matter what other people have to say. Your life path is unique and if you stop to hear about what other people have to say, you’ll be distracted.

There are many ways to tell someone you love them and care for them deeply. Don’t be afraid to show other people how you truly feel, to show your emotions. They will appreciate it so much.
Working too much.
No one ever said on their death bed ‘I wish I had worked harder while I could’. The most appropriate thing to do is to try and have a work and life balance. Don’t let your professional goals interfere with your personal life, or worse, take over it. Remember that the people you are surrounded by is what will matter as you age.
Not playing with your kids enough.
Invest in your child’s education and you invest in making the world a better place. Play with them and listen to them because you have the choice of planting the seeds for a brighter tomorrow. They grow up fast and many parents complain they feel they didn’t play with them enough while they were little.
