Many people are engaged in\u00a0a\u00a0destructive relationship because they\u2019re afraid of\u00a0being alone. Yet dozens of\u00a0years later it\u00a0becomes clear that it\u2019s better to\u00a0be\u00a0alone than to\u00a0live with a\u00a0person who brings a\u00a0lot of\u00a0disappointment, pain, and offenses.\n\n

Spent little time with loved ones\n\n

$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
In\u00a0the cycle of\u00a0work and home duties, many of\u00a0us pay very little attention to\u00a0our loved ones. Unfortunately, we\u00a0often understand this at\u00a0a\u00a0tragic time: children grow up\u00a0and start an\u00a0independent life, warm relationships with spouses disappear, something tragic happens to\u00a0parents.\n\n
\n
Wasted a\u00a0lot of\u00a0time\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
Watching TV\u00a0shows, chatting in\u00a0social networks, games on\u00a0the phone\u00a0\u2014 all of\u00a0it\u00a0takes an\u00a0impressive amount of\u00a0time. Yet you could spend it\u00a0on\u00a0much more useful things and thereby significantly improve the quality of\u00a0your life.\n\n
\n
Led an\u00a0unhealthy lifestyle\n\n

$\"\"$ \n

\n
We\u00a0ruin our health when we\u00a0give in\u00a0to\u00a0temptations every day and have bad habits. And even if\u00a0our health seems to\u00a0be\u00a0ok\u00a0now, after a\u00a0while we\u2019ll most likely feel the consequences of\u00a0such a\u00a0frivolous attitude toward\u00a0it.\n\n

Spent little time traveling\n\n

\n
Few of\u00a0us don\u2019t dream about traveling. Yet the desire to\u00a0travel\u00a0with comfort or\u00a0our responsibilities stop people from this quite often. Yet comfort is\u00a0not the most necessary thing, and you\u2019ll always have urgent things to\u00a0do, so…\n\n
\n
Worked too much\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
Most often people do\u00a0so\u00a0if\u00a0they have no\u00a0other values. Work is\u00a0important, but don\u2019t forget to\u00a0relax from time to\u00a0time.\n\n

Stopped learning new things\n\n

Many people believe that one degree is\u00a0enough. True, it\u2019s good if\u00a0you have one. Yet constant development brings not only more opportunities for professional growth but also an\u00a0increase in\u00a0self-confidence, making you an\u00a0interesting person to\u00a0others.\n\n
\n
Having a\u00a0job they hate\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
We\u00a0often continue to\u00a0work in\u00a0a\u00a0place we\u00a0hate only because of\u00a0our own indecisiveness and unwillingness to\u00a0leave our comfort zone. Yet if\u00a0we\u00a0don\u2019t risk and change something in\u00a0our lives, we\u00a0can simply fade away in\u00a0a\u00a0job we\u2019re not interested\u00a0in.\n\n
\n
Dreamed too much but took little action\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
If\u00a0you don\u2019t take any steps to\u00a0make your desires come true, everything will remain just a\u00a0fantasy. If\u00a0you wait for the perfect conditions for all your life, you may never have a\u00a0chance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
