5. Not controlling your sexual urges..
We all know that when we were all young, we tend to be controlled by sexual urges instead of we controlling them. A young person can travel from US to London just because there’s a girl he wants to take to bed. There are people who are willing to jeopardize their health just to get a sexual encounter, there are also people willing to compromise the interest of their companies or organization in exchange for a sexual encounter. Young peoples curse are the wisdom of controlling their sexual urges, the result is that in your 60’s you’d look back at all your sexual pleasures with regrets.
Looking at the many children you’d had with different women, wishing you had stayed with just one woman, you’d also look at the many health issues you had because of your sexual indiscretion and you would wish you have kept yourself safe.
6. Caring too much about people think of you.
When you’re young you think what people thinks and says about you is important, and you now put yourself on the stress just to please a favorable opinion of others. It is very useless in investing time and energy caring about what people who don’t care about you thinks. The truth is, those who care about you are willing to accept you for who and what you are.
7. Not taking better care of your body and your health.
The body you have today is same as the one that’s going to take you to the end of your days on this earth, you’d definitely not be given another body. When an individual is young the body can stand lots of abuse and neglects but this does not mean that it has not been accepted, in your old age you’d receive the bills and rewards for all the abuse you inflicted on your body and you would never like it at all.
So as a young individual always adopt a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy, learn to rest, make time for exercise, cut down on bulls [Alcohols] and smokes. And in your old age, you’d still have a body that is in good shape.
Note: Take very good of your body today and it would take care of you in your old age.
8. Not investing in others.
Its a know fact and saying that in life, you’d reap whatever you sow. Some day, you’d find yourself dependent on people and when that day comes, its the people on whose life you’ve invested in any way that you can count on. If you have lived only for yourself then you’d find yourself rejected and neglected, if you have lived only for money then you’d find out that money cannot take care of you when you are down. In your 20’s and 30’s use your resources no matter how small and invest in others and you would reap when you’re down and out in your 60’s.
9. Not persevering enough.
In your 60’s you’d be surprise at how many things would have come your way if only you have persevered a little more when you were younger. Too many of us give up too easily but life surrenders only to those who do not give up, life surrender only to those who persevere.
10. Not living your passion.
Many of us forsake our passion and chasing only what would bring us money. Well, you’d regret that in your 60’s. I know people in their 70’s who do not have a texture to their name but they spend each day feeling very fulfill because they lived their passion and it has brought them so much fulfillment and joy, by all means chase money but don’t do that to the exclusion of pursuing your passion and when chasing money and leaving your passion clashes.
Please choose your passion, it would ensure that your 60’s are filled with happy memories and a grateful and adoring society making you better in comfort.
All those are some of the things any young person is likely to regret in their 60’s if they don’t take care of them today when they’re younger.. Feel free to make use of the comment box adding to the 10 listed above.
