8 uncomfortable
truths that we all
need to accept.
—>1. Happiness is where you are now, or
nowhere at all.
It's not a new relationship, it’s not a new
job, it’s not a completed goal, and it’s
not a new car.
Until you give up on the idea that
happiness is somewhere else, it will never
be where you are.2. Quitting is for winners.
Contrary to popular opinion, quitting is
for winners.
Knowing when to quit, change direction,
leave a toxic situation, demand more from
life, give up on something that isn’t
working and move on, is a very important
skill that people who win at life all seem
to have.
But don’t quit because it’s hard.
Quit because it sucks.3. If they really wanted to, they would.
If you apply pressure, they'll do what you
want them to.
If you take the pressure off, you'll see
what they'd rather do.
Never waste your life fighting what
someone would rather do.
Let them go. Move on. Do better.4. Taking no risk is the biggest risk.
You have to risk failure to succeed.
You have to risk rejection to be accepted.
You have to risk heartbreak to love.
If you're always avoiding risk, you're risking
missing out on life.5. Call yourself out.
The most common reason why people
keep making the same mistakes is
because their insecure ego prevents them
from taking responsibility for their own
bullshit, their own toxic traits and their own
mistakes.
You have to call yourself out.
Calling yourself out means you care more
about your future, your progress and your
happiness, than just protecting your ego.6. Closure is your choice.
Closure isn’t an apology, or justice, or
answers.
That's insecurity.
If the situation made you feel awful,
seeking closure by reopening it is
insanity.
Closure isn’t something they can give you.
Closure is moving on. Closure is your
choice.7. If you’re happy alone, you'll be happier
together.
There is no type of affection that can fill
the void in a person who doesn't love
themselves already.
There is no independence in dependency.
There is no personal security in attaching
yourself to a secure person.
Until you have a healthy relationship with
yourself, you won't make healthy decisions
about someone else.8. It’s not your job to fix damaged
people.
Your responsibility to help someone will
never outweigh their responsibility to help
themselves.
But, it’s worth asking yourself why you
resonated so strongly with someone that
so desperately needed “fixing” in the first
place.
Often, our own toxic romantic and
non-romantic attachments tell a story
about an issue we have within ourselves.
