There is no doubt that life has its ups and downs. However, how we deal with them can sometimes make all the difference.
Today we share with you 6 harsh truths that you need to reckon with.
And they are:
1.You Won’t Always Get What You Want.
You won’t always get what you want in life: people are going to be late, people will let you down, items you want won’t always be available.
Important Lesson: Don’t look for happiness in material possessions and if things don’t go your way, learn to accept them. Life’s too short to stay miserable.
2. Many People Will Love You, but Many Will Not
Whether you are a celebrity, a charity worker or just a normal guy, there are going to be people that love you and what you do, but there’s also going to be plenty people that don’t like you. There are many possible reasons such as jealousy, similarities to them, or just not being someone’s ‘type’.
Important Lesson: Not everyone is always going to like you, and that’s fine. If people want to spend time talking about you then that is their problem. You are perfect as you are. You shouldn’t need everyone to like you to have some form of self-esteem.
3. Nobody Can Transform Your Life Like You Can
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we didn’t have to go up on stage, but we could just read a paragraph of a blog post and become a perfect public speaker? Or, wouldn’t it be nice if our friends could do daring things, and we would benefit from them as well?
The support and help of others can only take you so far, you’re going to have to do your own thing to make big changes in your life situation.
Important Lesson: Do things for yourself and learn to stand on your own two feet. People you rely on won’t be around forever, and you don’t want to have to use others as a crutch to get anywhere in life.
4. You Are Going to Fail
As the saying goes – “Only those who are asleep make no mistakes”.
Important Lesson: You can learn a lot from others, but it is your own failures that are going to teach you the most valuable lessons in life. Learn from your failures, embrace them, and use them to drive you on to success.
5. Life will not always go as you wish
Things aren’t always going to go how you would like them to.
Important Lesson: Don’t stress about the things that you can’t control. Learn to live with things that happen. You can’t change the past, but you can change how you react to things.
6. Someone Else Will Always Have More
Whether it is money, partners or friends there will always be areas where other people have more than you. That isn’t to say you can’t become abundant in whatever you want
The wanting of more actually holds a very important lesson…
Important Lesson: Just because someone has ‘more’, that doesn’t mean they are happy. Read the biography of any celebrity and they will tell you they enjoy their process of earning money, rather than what money can do to make them happy. In other words, focus on what you love, not what the thing you love can get you.
