There are times in life when one is enveloped by pain. There are times when it feels like we are lost in this labyrinth called life. At such times, it feels as if our hearts are totally emptied and replaced by a hollowness that makes us feel that the wrong and easier way out is the right way.

• Over reliance on the physical:-

We all know that the affairs of this world are controlled from the spiritual and for one to be succeed in this life, he or she needs to be attune with the spiritual life: be prayerful and listen to his inner conscience. There is the need to do away with the harsh and negative criticisms of the people around him.

• Trying to live up to the demands of men:-

Most times we allow our lives to be controlled by the whims and caprics of people around us. We model our lives trying to live up to the belittling personality they have carved out for us. This happens when we tend to believe that other people's beliefs are more superior to ours. Always bear in mind that no matter how hard you try, you can never live up to people's expectations of you-there will always be negative criticisms which they are very eager and most willing to dish out.

. Respecting people's opinions more than yours:-

The reality is that everyone has an opinion about how things should be done or the process or procedure to go about in order to achieve this. Having a lot of wise people with diabetes opinions around, doesn't necessarily mean that you should let their opinions relegate you into obscurity. For every opinion given, sit down, think about it, reason it out, go ahead and weigh the pros and cons of such decisions. As much as possible, ask for the spirit of discernment between good and bad and choose the best profitable opinions.

• When fear dominates the life of a person :-

Fear is the major reason why most people feel lost, disappointed and alone in this world. It controls their minds right from the moment they wake to their going to bed. Fear makes people feel inadequate, robs them of their self-confidence and leave them as shadows of their old selves. Fear is the reason why most people turn to negative tendencies such as drugs, alcohol,, peer group influence to boost their self-confidence and overcome the monster called fear that has left them scared of their own shadows.

• Confused inner voices

It is strongly advisable to flee from people who always yell, pull down people, complain constantly, blame others for their actions and constantly portray themselves as the victims. Keeping company with negative people who see nothing good in life exposes not to doubts, fears and negativity.
Instead, spend a lot of time with positive people who motivate and challenge you to aspire for greater heights in life. These kind of people inspire creativity in an individual and help their friends overcome obstacles in life.

• Believing every bad idea that comes to mind:-

The human mind is a powerful tool which conceives what we want it to. This means that the human mind can conceive both good and bad ideas. Over reliance on the bad can make life a living hell for us. It is entirely up to us to choose to either do away with or implement these bad ideas that our minds conceives most especially in our idle moments. Hence the saying, '' An idle mind is the devil's workshop''.

• Living in the imagination of our minds:-

When we spend time building castles in the air and living out our lives based on the imaginary lives of comfort we have spun for ourselves, can lead to failure in life. It all boiks down to the fact that we do not want to accept reality. We go ahead stuck in the confines of the imaginary comforts of our minds.

• Stuck in the past :-

Learning to move forward in life should be a trait every human should be cut out for. No matter how glorious or how heart-rending our past was, we should always realize that there is need to forge ahead. As long as there is life, there is hope. We should realize that the past will always remain the past and we have been offered an opportunity to correct or build on our past deeds.

• Avoid being a stickler for perfection :-

We need to realize that perfection is God alone and we humans are only striving towards perfection. We need to realize that we cannot control every situation in life and quite with the negative and debilitating criticisms.
