Wake-up calls in your life is a warning to make you understand that you are doing something wrong.

1. Wake-up calls of health

You coolly ignore the warning signals of bad health, as you are sure that you are hale and healthy.

In your smugness about your health, you often feel that you are immune to any illness.

So, you coolly ignore the wake-up calls which your body often sends to you through symptoms and signs that you are undergoing a severe health problem.

You should understand that there is no immediate onset of any illness. Becoming ill is a slow process. Before it manifests as a deadly disease, your body shows symptoms about it, but you choose to ignore it.

Your wake-up call shows through symptoms about your health related problems. When you listen to the wake up calls about your health and go to a doctor immediately, you are easily cured.

But if you have the “it will  not happen to me” attitude, it becomes a major mistake which has a devastating impact in your health.

Understand the simple fact that anything can happen to anyone. So, be on red alert to notice any wake-up calls foretelling your health problems.

2. Wake-up call about your financial downslide

You want to show yourself as a wealthy person. It is quite a normal feeling.

But your standard of living should be according to the money you earn. If in your anxiety to keep in pace with your affluent friends, you over spend, there will be instant wake-up call about your mismanaged money.

You will be flooded by your credit card bills. You will feel a pinch of cash in your budget. You will not have money for your essentials.

All these are warning signals that foretells that you are misusing your hard-earned money.

When you get warning signals about your financial status, you should immediately check your financial dealings to find out the loop holes through which your money is draining.

You earn a lot, but also spend a lot.

What is the use of earning lots of money if you do not know how to spend it?

Credit cards is like a parasite which leeches away your money. When you buy everything that catches your fancy, the repayment amount cuts into your budget.

Listen to your wake-up call which says that you are spending beyond your means, before overspending destroys you.

Is your relationship with your spouse strained?

Do you find it hard to interact with him\her?

If your relationship issues are unattended, it will kill your marriage. And you can never hope to have the intimacy you enjoyed with your spouse to return back into your relationship.

4. Wake-up calls about your imperfect work

When you are hardworking and sincere in your work, you find your work interesting.

But when you constantly make mistakes in your work, it is a warning signal that you are not doing it with proper dedication.

You cannot always blame your management for your non-performance in your work. And you cannot give excuses for your lack of proficiency by saying that your boss is not easy to satisfy.

It is you who have to analyze your work and find out your drawbacks.

If you ignore the wake-up calls of your work-related problems, your job might be in jeopardy. Ignoring wake up calls in your work might end up in you losing your job.
