Some Ways to Identify If You Are Wasting Your Life Away.

in Project HOPE4 years ago

The truth is difficult and painful but when we have someone who tells us the truth we should appreciate such a person very well, sometimes we might be waking up every day, eating sleeping and making friends without realizing how fast time is going and how soon we need to make most of the time that we have.

I decided to come up with this post because my younger sister asked me a very strong and serious question that drove me back to my book of research and made me to begin to make research about how it is easy to spot a person who is wasting away his or her life, I needed to make this research because I also wanted to be sure that I was not wasting away my life.

Sleeping too much.

Sleeping too much is a very serious sign that you are wasting your life and by the time you realize how much of your life you have wasted will often be when you have arrived at an old age. Too much sleep is really bad for productivity and a less productive life is the reason for time wastage.

If you will like to cut down on the hours of sleep that you get and become more productive at what you do, you should have something good that you look forward to, looking forward to an exciting task every time that you get up from bed will make you get out of bed very quick all the time.

Hunted by past failures.

For the sake of past unsuccessful actions, then you fail to try anything new or you just make the decision of giving up on life completely while in actual sense those failures should actually give you the possible reasons of trying out new methods and going for what you want even harder.

Bad comparison.

There are two types of comparison, if you compare yourself to the people that will make you work even harder all the time then that is a good method of comparison but when you compare yourself with celebrities and hurt yourself in the process, then that is a bad way to treat yourself and that is also a bad motivation for life.

Failure to learn.

You are wasting your life away if you think that you have reached the peak of acquiring knowledge, it is important that we look for options to learn all the good ways that we can use to obtain knowledge the more we fail to improve on ourselves the more we are wasting our lives away.

Once I saw this I needed to click on it really quick, as we go through life everyday it is important for us to know if we are living a good life or we are just wasting our lives away, thank you for this post.

We all know we are wasting our time in sleeping or doing wasteful things. But we cannot help it to get out as we don't have to do anything.

Hello @ireti
I agree with you, on all the warning signs you mention.
In particular, I must emphasize the latter, "human beings never stop learning."
Remembering Socrates:

I just know I don't know anything.

Excellent reading, thank you for sharing.
Happy weekend!

You mentioned the most important points of wasting time and so life, especially the sleeping one since I was having a tough time sleeping like half of my day, also I would mention that many people wasting time on social media, some people spend hours on social media without noticing.

These are indeed true as well as many more pointers. Thanks for sharing
