Time waits for nobody while death is always ready to take you away. What's the point in wasting the only life you have?
Here are ways not to waste your life:
1. Know where you are headed to
Don't live a blind life where you have no idea where your life is from and where it is heading. Set goals that will enable you to live a purposeful life. Living a life without goals will land you where you never wanted.
2. Live the moment
Life is now. Don't wait for tomorrow or next month or next year. Don't wait until you buy a house and a car to begin living. It could be too late for you. The best advice I can give you is live this moment.
3. Do not be too needy
Do not be the person who asks for help every now and again. Being too needy means you are wasting an incredible amount of your life.
Frequently asking for help makes you stagnated and you can't actually move further.
4. Letting other people tell you how to live
You are wasting your life when you let other people advise you on how to live. Note that you are the one in charge of your life and you choose how to live it. Letting other people choose life for you means you have lost your sense of self-worth.
5. Find internal happiness
How happy your life depends on you; you choose to be happy or sad. Despite how worrying your environment can be, your happiness has to come from within you. Do not let things or people determine your happiness.
