HOW TO RUIN YOUR LIFE IN 5 SIMPLE WAYS

You want to keep wasting time? Fine.

But don’t act shocked when you’re stuck in the same place next year, wondering where it all went wrong.

Here’s how to guarantee a life of regret—if that’s what you really want.

1. WAIT FOR "MOTIVATION" TO STRIKE

Newsflash: Motivation isn’t coming. It’s not some magical force that hits you while you’re scrolling TikTok. The only thing you’ll get by waiting? More guilt, more procrastination, and another year gone.

Do this instead: Act first. Motivation follows action, not the other way around.

2. BLAME EVERYONE BUT YOURSELF

Your boss, your parents, the economy—sure, they’re not perfect. But blaming them won’t change your life. Only you can do that.

Do this instead: Take ownership. Even if only 10% of the problem is yours, fix that 10%.

3. OVERCONSUME, UNDEREXECUTE

Watching 10 "how to be successful" videos a day isn’t progress. Reading 50 books a year means nothing if you apply zero of it.

Do this instead: Pick one thing. Do it. Repeat.

4. PRIORITISE COMFORT OVER GROWTH

That job you hate but won’t leave? The relationship draining you but you’re too scared to walk away? Comfort is the enemy of change.

Do this instead: Get uncomfortable now, or stay stuck forever. Your choice.

5. THINK "SOMEDAY" IS A REAL DAY

"Someday I’ll start." "Someday I’ll fix this." No. Someday is code for never.

Do this instead: If not now, when?

UNFILTERED TRUTH:

Nobody is coming to save you. Not your mom, not your partner, not some viral post. You have to save yourself.

So what’s it gonna be? Keep making excuses, or finally do something about it?
