What are you ready to give up on?

I know that there are a lot of things that I have to work on and areas of my life that I have to improve. I guess a small thing is watching tv. I think that instead of watching tv I could be using that time more wisely doing things that matter. So perhaps that is what I will work on. Spending less time watching tv. It's crazy how much time goes by from watching tv it all adds up to days and even years for some people.

One thing that I have given up for quite some time now, is soap operas. I feel that I just don't need to be watching them at all, and you know, I haven't missed them whatsoever. I could care less now, what goes on there.I have also given up on trying to please people, as some you just can't please no matter what you do. If I don't get praise for what I do, then so be it, as I am going to live for god and not worry about what others say or do. Take care, and have a very good day.

Well there are things i can live without so if i am asked to give them up, i probably would do that in an instant. :D Thinking about this, i would probably give up my other phone - i am using two different networks. I can give up tv soap operas as i have done so in the past as well. I won't be able to give up mylot and the time i spend here.. i can lessen it but not to a point of not coming right back.I can give up softdrinks and stick to drinking water, but i cannot give up a diet with meat - i have tried to stick to fruits and veggies and it does not feel good and i felt deprived. As for the non monetary, i sure won't give up my family, and I will most definitely stick with them.

I gave up trying to make conversation with my husband, as it is getting beyond a joke when neither of us have any thing in common anymore, other than living in the same house and having children. I gave up caring what other people think of me and I gave up trying to make an effort with a few friends, as they are not worth my time. I have given up caring if the children tidy their room and given up looking at the back yard being in a mess, knowing I am not well enough to do that.

That would really good to give up something that you don't even care.At lest it's a small improvement you've got.So i listed something when it occured in my mind and try to tell myself to quit.Good to hear.

Hi Miss, I feel its time to focus on really important things in my life, to set priorities and to keep the waste things away from my life...i am ready to not being over-emotional and judgmental even on waste things, it only sucks my energy and good time..

In my very simple life, I don't think that there are anything that I should be really giving up. Coz for starters, I have been away from friends because , well, motherhood has taken so much of my time. IT is the only thing that I think is missing in my life.

Money. Not the possession of it or use of it, but rather the 'trying to get more of it.' I've got the feeling that--even though there's no other obvious reason for a lot of the things I do--"more money than I could ever use" (the amount that country-music-star/marketing-major Garth Brooks says he has) will come to me if I keep doing what I do & -if I make it perfectly clear that the money is only a 'navigational tool' for my work (i.e. if you'll give me more money for going in a different direction, I am guided in that direction). But I think what you mean by "give up on" is 'do something else instead of.' I can think of any number of things people KNOW they should 'give up on,' but they have trouble actually giving up because they can't think of anything just-as-satisfying to fill that space in their lives. And what else is as satisfying as money?

I already gave up a lot. My family (from the past), my luxury, a big income. I gave up my shelter, for the biggest part my own life and freedom. I am giving up a big part of the very less income I have now to make my children feel more happy. I give up on the heath for the biggest part of the day/night although it's freezing cold here. I wonder what more I can give up.

I asked this questions for quite many times to myself actually. I must say that I did not have a very pleasant childhood and teenage life and even until now as a young adult. Not that I asked for too much to be granted in my life, but just that I face certain problems in life and my family broke into pieces as well. Because that so much things had happened and even being mistreated by my mother. I started to question the reason for being alive. I started to question everything about life. Such as the fact that people work so hard everyday just to feed themselves and stay alive. In fact they spend most of their time in the office working. Is that what we are suppose to get from our life? The answer I found was no. So basically, I think I am ready to give up on everything in my life. I felt so unhappy with my life. I tried working hard for something but just failed to gain anything. Problems keep occurring and discouraged me. I know the fact that someone must have suffered from something similar or worse and yet still eager to live on. I just don't. Anyway, I hope people out there will have a better happier live that I cannot experience in this life.
