Letting the opinions of others control your life.<\/strong> \u2013 People know your name, not your story.  They\u2019ve heard what you\u2019ve done, but not what you\u2019ve been through.  So take their opinions of you with a grain of salt.  In the end, it\u2019s not what others think, it\u2019s what you think about yourself that counts.  Sometimes you have to do exactly what\u2019s best for you and your life, not what\u2019s best for everyone else.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>2. The shame of past failures.<\/strong> \u2013 You will fail sometimes, and that\u2019s okay.  The faster you accept this, the faster you can get on with being brilliant.  Your past does not equal your future.  Just because you failed yesterday; or all day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; or for the last sixteen years, doesn\u2019t have any impact on the current moment.  All that matters is what you do right now.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>3. Being indecisive about what you want.<\/strong> \u2013 You will never leave where you are until you decide where you would rather be.  It\u2019s all about finding and pursuing your passion.  Neglecting passion blocks creative flow.  When you\u2019re passionate, you\u2019re energized.  Likewise, when you lack passion, your energy is low and unproductive.  Energy is everything when it comes to being successful.  Make a decision to figure out what you want, and then pursue it passionately.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>4. Procrastinating on the goals that matter to you.<\/strong> \u2013 There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.  Follow your intuition.  Don\u2019t give up trying to do what you really want to do.  When there is love and inspiration, you can\u2019t go wrong.  And whatever it is you want to do, do it now.  There are only so many tomorrows.  Trust me, in a year from now, you will wish you had started today.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>5. Choosing to do nothing.<\/strong> \u2013 You don\u2019t get to choose how you are going to die, or when.  You can only decide how you are going to live, right now.  Every day is a new chance to choose.  Choose to change your perspective.  Choose to flip the switch in your mind from negative to positive.  Choose to turn on the light and stop fretting about with insecurity and doubt.  Choose to do work that you are proud of.  Choose to see the best in others, and to show your best to others.  Choose to truly LIVE, right now.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>6. Your need to be right.<\/strong> \u2013 If you keep on saying you\u2019re right, even if you are right now, eventually you will be wrong.  Aim for success, but never give up your right to be wrong.  Because when you do, you will also lose your ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>7. Running from problems that should be fixed.<\/strong> \u2013 We make life harder than it has to be.  The difficulties started when\u2026 conversations became texting, feelings became subliminal, sex became a game, the word \u2018love\u2019 fell out of context, trust faded as honesty waned, insecurities became a way of living, jealously became a habit, being hurt started to feel natural, and running away from it all became our solution.  Stop running!  Face these issues, fix the problems, communicate, appreciate, forgive and LOVE the people in your life who deserve it.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>8. Making excuses rather than decisions.<\/strong> \u2013 Life is a continuous exercise in creative problem solving.  A mistake doesn\u2019t become a failure until you refuse to correct it. Thus, most long-term failures are the outcome of people who make excuses instead of decisions.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>9. Overlooking the positive points in your life.<\/strong> \u2013 What you see often depends entirely on what you\u2019re looking for.  Do your best and surrender the rest.  When you stay stuck in regret of the life you think you should have had, you end up missing the beauty of what you do have.  You will have a hard time ever being happy if you aren\u2019t thankful for the good things in your life right now.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"3\"><strong>10. Not appreciating the present moment.<\/strong> \u2013 We do not remember days, we remember moments.  Too often we try to accomplish something big without realizing that the greatest part of life is made up of the little things.  Live authentically and cherish each precious moment of your journey.  Because when you finally arrive at your desired destination, I guarantee you, another journey will begin.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p><span><\/span><br \/>\n<span><\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/life\/thoughts-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p><span><\/span><br \/>\n<span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font size=\"2\">Love &amp; Light,<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/Angel_Love\">Angel Love<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font size=\"2\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/hearts\/LoveYou.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marcandangel.com\"><font size=\"2\">Source<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to fly and move on to better things, you have to give up the things that weigh you down&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2676,1779,2193,69,2110,32],"class_list":["post-95788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","tag-angel-love","tag-happiness","tag-let-go","tag-life-2","tag-light","tag-love"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95788\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
