Life can be amazing and full of surprises but at the same time; it can break you in the most painful ways.
However, there are times when we wish that we knew or noticed things earlier in an effort to avoid the pain and hurt but it is always too late for regrets. Some of the things we fail to factor are:
1. Jumping from one broken relationship to another won’t fix you
In most cases, people hardly give themselves time to work on themselves after a messed up relationship. They feel the need to be with someone else hoping that it will help them fix the pain. One of the most important things one can do after a breakup, however, is giving him/herself time to hurt, think and grow.
2. Constantly comparing yourself to everyone else won’t change you
It’s okay to look at someone and admire them but the comparison will not change you, it will actually mess up your self-esteem. Accepting who you are goes a long way into starting a journey of self-love and acceptance. Compete with yourself and try to be your better self tomorrow.
3. Appreciate everything in your life
From family, good health, the morning scent to things like the ability to wake up each morning; the list is endless. The older we get, the more we hope that we had taken time to create unique experiences when we were younger.
Spending time with your family, friends, go out and make memories, travel and see the world as you meet new people is something that shouldn’t be forced. Nothing is worse than losing someone and having to regret not spending enough time with them.
