Three Things That Should Be A Part Of Your Everyday Life

Three Things That Should Be A Part Of Your Everyday Life

No matter how old you are, or where you are from, there is always a time in your life where you have taken something for granted. Whether its family, friends, memories, or even life itself, we have all made this mistake. Most of us, especially the younger generation, don't know how fast things can change in an instant. As people, we must remember that nothing is ever free or easy. Here are three pieces of advice you should revolve your life around every day.

1. Don't ever wait for anybody or anything.

Do you remember the last time you set something aside and told yourself "I have time to do it later or another time"? What about the time you wanted to go on an adventure but you told yourself that you could wait a few weeks or months to go on it? I guarantee if something were to happen to you, you would regret not doing all these things you have been putting off. Instead of telling yourself "I'll do it later or in a few weeks", you should be finding ways to do it as soon as possible. You will never know when there will be another chance to do these activities, so take the time to get it all done and there will be no regrets later!

2. Set daily goals

Every morning when you wake up and roll out of bed, you should set a daily goal you would like to achieve for the day. Whether it's something major like losing weight and eating healthy, or even something small such as making somebody laugh or smile, you should always wake up and set a goal. You should want to wake up in the morning and try to be the best person you could be possible for the day. Don't get me wrong, you should always have a long-term goal set for future years, but I guarantee you will be a happier person if you set daily goals and achieve them. No matter what type of daily goal you will set, you will become a more positive person once these goals are achieved.

3. Be happy, no matter what.

You should not be wasting minutes and hours of your life worrying about small, unimportant things in your life. You most likely will probably not even remember any of those things in future months anyway. Instead, you should turn any negativity into a positive. There will be the days where you feel down about yourself and whats going on around you, but you should always remember the positive that is going on in your life. Surrounding yourself with positive energy will allow you to appreciate life more. Start laughing, smiling, and enjoying life more. Everybody should be living a happy life.

As simple as these tasks seem, not many people follow these. I know for a while I stopped when life became hectic, and I became much more of a negative person. I know not to ever make the mistake of taking life's moments for granted ever again. Just follow these three simple steps, and live life to the fullest with no regrets.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
