5 Signs You’re Throwing Away Your Life

The good news about throwing away your life? You can just stop. I did. One day I just decided I wanted to move in a different direction. Sure, it took a few years to reach the destination, but once I set the intention, half the battle was over.

Take a look at these signs and if they apply to you, think about setting your intentions to change these situations today.

You’re Doing Anything Besides the Thing You Want to do With Your Life

“People are strange: they are constantly angered(постоянно злят) by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice(они почти не заечают).” — Charles Buwkowski

You’re Staying in a Relationship When you Know it Isn’t Working

“If you’re still in a relationship, remember that just because you can get along with anyone doesn’t mean you have to. If you’re unhappy after having tried every way to make things work, chances are that you should move on. It’s in your best interest to end a dysfunctional relationship rather than get stuck(застрять) forever with the wrong person just because you’re secure.” — Amir Levine

You’re Spending All of Your Time on Entertainment and Distractions(развлечения и отвлечения)

“9 to 5 is not for losers. If you don’t complain(жаловаться) […]. Your actions should match your mouth and your ambitions. I think working 9 to 5 is for a loser who says that they will rule the world, and they watch Netflix for four hours a day.” Gary Vaynerchuk

You Give Too Much of Your Time to People Who Don’t Deserve(заслуживают) it

“People are frugal in guarding(бережно опекают) their personal property(имущество); but as soon as it comes to squandering(разбазаривание) time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy(скупой).” — Seneca

You Base Your Actions More on What Others Think Than What You Want

“I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others.” — Marcus Aurelius
