9 things you have to know now so you don't regret in about 5 years time!

Walking down the stairs, Phoebe turned abruptly with her notepad held in her right hand and a far-away look on her face. It was Saturday night, she was home alone; she could feel the emptiness, the void hovering around her and herself lingering to have someone beside her. Her friends had went for a vacation leaving her behind, she had screamed and yelped out loud when she was asked if she would come along. Over the past days, she has been haunted by her past, reclining on memories and remembering that five years ago, she could have started a lot of things than dealing with the trivial. She parted her lips with tears streaming down her cheeks.

       "Partying and gallivanting? Five years was a waste! It was! " Phoebe muttered in tears. 

What hurts the most is having to realise one's life will be better if one had done something five or two years ago. We all have regrets, we all have a past, we all wish we have a better life, we all yearn. 

So Hey buddies! I was going through Quora some days ago and I found something that could be helpful 😉😉, a question I had to write on! For you 💖

There are certain truths in life we have to accept and certain actions that has to be taken! And one of these is having to know that they are some things you start now that will definitely help you in this race you take in life five years! There are realizations you've to bear in mind that are validities and not fallacies!

So, pick up a drink, sip and read 

Not with a drink? Just laze and read 😉😉

Below 👇👇

• Introduction and communication - you will be beguiled if you are told that you need not to relate with people in life. Remember, we all are helpmates to one another. We can't be a better individual if we fail to relate with other human like us. Introduction has gone a long way so far. Who knows if the one you meet and become friends with today can be your life partner 😉, a help even in the future. Whether rich or poor, classy or a nerd, gentle or boisterous;  the ones you know have a role to play in your life.

• Ask for guidance - So many people will let you know that their lives will have been better they have a guardian at  some point in their life. Yeah, decision-making is yours yet having a mentor could bring you more opportunities and give you more insight. Even digital and technology has made things easier.

•   Work from now - Wanna be a writer, write now? Wanna act? Go to classes that will help build your skills. Wanna fish? Get nets and hook.You need to work from now! Shunning procrastination and negative thoughts should be prior also. 

• Remain patient - Humans have failed to realize that results could take time. Only the patient can make it to the end, wanna reduce belly fat, you drink a syrup for two days and boom! You expect result? Wanna reduce calories, you go to gym and sweat yourself out for 3 days and you expect changes? Wierd and funny! Rome is not built in a day they say, before your potentials can be fully realized by others too, it might take time so keep working but don't expect result instantly. Patience pays!

•  Write down your goals - writing down your goals make things real. It gives you confidence that you are walking towards success and in due time the greatness you await or work toilessly for will be attained.

•  Forgive yourself and others - We are like prisoners behind bars when we fail to realise forgiveness is a necessity. Yeah, you have a past, you acted like a fool, you trusted and was stabbed back, you made a foolish choice! The past is now gone, ease and work towards making your present and future resplendent! Forgiving others matters too, reclining on the hurt and pains you feel will only leave you in despair .

• Leave relationships that are toxic - You could be a fool when you end up with a life partner that beats you up, cheat, make you feel worthless when the red flags were once in the air for you to see! Friendships that add nothing to your life or gives you less time to meditate and work towards success should be cut off. Remember Phoebe?

•   Get ample sleep and watch out for your diet - avoiding junks, high carbohydrate breakfast now can help save your future too. You don't wanna be so obese that entering through a super mart's door to buy foodstuffs becomes difficult.😂😂

 

 The philosophy of Nike - Remember that  GIF up there? The young fat man could have applied this philosophy 😉. it's a great philosophy to reckon with depicting the statement - "just do it"! When you feel you have to write, do it. When you feel you need to take a break, do it. When you feel you need to dance off your worries and sway your hips to rock and roll, do it. When you feel you need to talk to yourself, do it. But be careful, don't slap someone cause your mind tells you to. Recognize your mind and tap in. Doing these things that comes to your mind can let you make small decisions throughout the day that will forever change your life and put you ahead in this journey of life
