Let Go Of These 6 Mindsets In Your 20s, To Live Better In Your 30s.
The quality of your life depends on the quality of your mind
1. You Live Your Life According to Other People’s Expectations
In Bronnie Ware’s book, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying, can you guess what the number one regret people had?
You guessed it.
Expectations.
Many said:
“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”
Expectations are other people’s insecurities projected onto you. They are heavy to carry, difficult to please and unsatisfying to live up to. No one wins, especially not you.
Many of the people in Bronnie Ware’s book only realized this towards the final few weeks of their life. They had spent their entire lives living on someone else’s terms, only to die with a heart full of regret.
Imagine yourself at 90 years old regretting that you didn’t do what you really wanted to do because of your parent’s expectations of you. Heartbreaking isn’t it?
