10 Things You Must Give Up To Move Forward

This article came on top of my FB recent post so I decided to post it here because I find it should be something that I have to hold on and remember in my life.

10 Things You Must Give Up To Move Forward

Letting the opinions of others control your life.

• It is not what others think, it is what you think bout yourself that counts.
• You have to do exactly what is best for you and your life not what is best for everyone else.

The shame of past failures.

•  Your past does not equal your future. 
• All that matters is what you do right now.

Being indecisive about what you want.

•  You will never leave where you are until you decide where you would rather be.
• Make a decision to figure out what you want, and then pursue it passionately.

Procrastinating on the goals that matter to you.

• There are two primary choices in life: to accept the conditions they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
• The best to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Choosing to do nothing.

• You don't get to choose how are you going to die, or when. 
• You can only decide how you are going to live, right now.
• Everyday is a new chance to choose.

You need to be right.

• 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. 

Running from problems that should be fixed. 

• Stop running!
• Face these issues, fix the problems, communicate, appreciate, forgive and LOVE the people in your life who deserve it. 

Making excuses rather than decisions.

• Most long-term failures are the outcome of people who make excuses instead of decisions.  

Overlooking the positive points in your life.

• What you see often depends entirely on what you are looking for
• You will have a hard time ever being happy if you are not thankful for the good things in your life right now

Not appreciating the present moment

•  Too often we try to accomplish something big without realizing that the greatest part of life is made up of the little things.
