Life is learning from the mistakes. It’s right, but again there are some mistakes which you do not ever want to make because they will ruin you from inside out & certainly not repeat them.

So here are 7 mistakes you must avoid in your life.

1. Working alone in everything

Yes, there are many things which you need to do alone, but every time doing everything alone is a mistake.

Sometimes you don’t like someone to work with you because you don’t like their ways of working or a person itself and you decide to work alone on everything.

Now you must understand, you can’t work on everything alone. It’s not because I think you don’t have skills, you might have every skill required for every job to do, but you need other person & you need others perspective to see it in a different opinion because many times you don’t know see things which you don’t know.

In this case, you require someone, who knows different things than you, who has a different perspective than you, & can offer something new.

2. Listening to everyone opinion

Many times you listen and trust other people more than yourself. Some of you might be completely dependent on the other's opinion.

In this process, the most important thing you are forgetting is your choice, you are interested, and what is better for you because only you know what is better for you.

Now again, you can take other's opinions but you must not directly act on it, think through on other's opinions and choose the best thing for yourself by yourself.

3. Not investing money

If you are just concentrating on earning and spending you won’t ever be able to create financial freedom for yourself.

And yes it is a mistake because you will never be satisfied with what you have.

As far as I know, financial freedom can never be created only with the job. You need to earn from job - you need to invest that money back into the side hustles - create multiple streams of income for yourself to become financially free.

4. Physical & mental fitness

Many people try to just earn and looked into other factors than themselves and their fitness.

Now, what is the use if you have everything and not able to enjoy what you have, so to do that your physical and mental fitness is absolutely important.

Many people avoid physical fitness because they want to eat junk food to satisfy the temporary temptation. Now after eating junk food, they are not exercising to keep yourself fit.

Your physical fitness can cost you everything, so get in line to maintain your physical fitness.

Now coming to your mental fitness, if you are not mentally fit you won’t be able to do anything, or even if you have everything you won’t be able to satisfy your needs.

You must be mentally fit to create your freedom and enjoy it at the same time.

5. Doing the same thing again and again

Successful people say that doing the same thing, again and again, doesn’t give you different results & its act of a fool, it’s true.

If you want a different result, try to change your habits, try to change your plans, try changing your mindset, change your ways in order to avoid failure and you will become successful.

6. Trusting everyone

Now you must never trust everyone, it’s not because they might think bad of you, but it can also happen that they might don’t know what they are talking about.

They might be just telling you something so that they can pretend to look like a hero & a person who knows everything.

So it’s always better to double-check what information you get from others.

It’s also the best trick to know who knows what, and when next time you need a particular suggestion, you can directly go to that person who actually knows things.

7. Putting other people before yourself

Many times you put other people before yourself because you have been taught in your childhood not being selfish and sharing everything you have.

But again it is a grave mistake to think about others before yourself.

There is a saying that “you need to be a king to look after your kingdom”.

This saying doesn’t mean the role of the king but it means you need to look after yourself and be well so that you can protect others & look after others.

So if you are not satisfied with yourself, don’t try to make efforts to satisfy others because if you are not satisfied with yourself, whatever you do, it won’t satisfy others.

And let me clarify this, looking after yourself is not selfish, caring for your self -loving yourself is the important and most alive thing you can do for yourself and for others as well.

Because a dead person either by the body or soul is no good for anyone.
