I once published an article on how to make good choices in life. Imagine someone who chose a lover and spent 3 years dating thinking it will end up in marriage but a painful breakup set them apart.

♦. You have to spend part of your precious life to heal your pains.

♦. You have to spend time searching for a new love.

What if your new love also proves futile after a couple of years?. Oh my God!. Can you bear the pains?…

Your life is precious so be very careful when you are making choices. Whether it is a marriage partner or items in the market: Step in for quality over quantity. Go in for someone who truly loves you. Let me help you a little to find out if you are in a genuine relationship or not. Read this; “How to know if you are in a fake relationship.”

Don’t waste your life and if you have already wasted part of it… cease fire! I have been in love with this Native American Proverb for long because it sends a very powerful and heart-touching message about life:

“Every time you wake up ask yourself “what good things am I going to do today?.” Remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it.”
—Native American Proverb

The best remedy for a useless life is a positive change. If anyone tells you “don’t waste your life” he expects you to be time conscious. Time is money and there is no doubt about that.

Adapt change if you are living a useless life. Discipline yourself to turn on a new leaf. Make every second count and you would be proud for not wasting any part of your life on anything unproductive.

Expert believe we spend more time on the things we love most. Check them out. Are those things producing profits for your time investments?. Every second and every minute counts.

Just as we know, time is a nonrenewable resource so be vigilant how you spend your time. Your life on earth is limited. Don’t waste your life on anything that doesn’t produce a positive result.
