Because we are human and subject to frailties, at times we do things we shouldn’t. It’s important that we sometimes take a step back and assess ourselves with the same level of scrutiny and honesty we level at others to evaluate how we can improve our own lives.

There

are some basic things we should stop doing sooner rather than later because

they add no value to our lives. The quicker we get with the programme, the

better off we will be.

Check

out the checklist of bad habits and quirks below and see which you are guilty

of. Now that you know, see how quickly you can rein in your actions and put an

end to it. You can thank me later.

1.

Spending more than you make: This is

the ultimate no-no and the perfect way to always be broke and in debt.

2.

Hanging with people who have no ambition

or direction: It may sound harsh but old time people used to say ‘show me your

company and I will tell you who you are’. If they cannot uplift you then what

good are they?

3.

Partying more than you hustle: It is

another way to be poor and ‘boasy’.  There

is a difference between balling on a budget and balling while broke. Learn it.

4.

Making excuses: Any child can do that.

Grow up and take responsibility for your actions.

5.

Playing the victim:  That is another card you need to discard

forthwith. It serves no real purpose.

6.

Acting like the world owes you: A

swift kick in the you- know-where probably. That’s about it.

7.  Flexing

to impress others:  Lack of self-esteem

causes this type of problem so you really need to practise some self –affirming

exercises.

8.

Neglecting your health: Don’t ever

do that. Spare body and body parts are not available.
