Five signs you are wasting your time and how to fix it.

1. Worry: You unnecessary worry about what and how people will think about you and that stops you from trying new things. 

Fix: Take advice from others but use your own judgement to do what you want by analyzing your capabilities. 

2. Complain: When things don't go as per your expectations, you keep on complaining about that particular situation and waste time and energy.  

Fix it by keeping realistic expectations out of people and time , it would save you from further disappointments and you will learn the art of acceptance gradually. 

3. Lack of Action: Sometimes people are so scared of failures that they don't even try to take action towards their goals. 

Fix it by realizing that failure is a part of life. Failure is not the end but the beginning of new opportunities. 

4. You repeat mistakes: You keep on indulging in the same old patterns and keep repeating the same mistakes instead of feeling guilty as you feel that its too hard for you to change.. 

Fix it by learning the lesson from the mistakes and realizing that change is necessary for you to grow. 

5. You seek external validation: False ego is the reason behind it ... you always try to please others and seek their validation to fulfill your ego. 

Fix it by increasing the fact that you can not please everyone in this world and if you constantly try to do so , you will end up disappointing yourself. 

Hope , next time you will use your time and resources wisely and will keep these points in mind.
