Tough Truths Of Life That Improve Your Life
3 min readFeb 24, 2022
- You’re Responsible For Where You Are — Sorry to burst that bubble, but you could have chosen anything else at any other point in time. It’s your fault you are where you are… for better and for worse.
- No One Is Coming To Save You — There will be no sign that hits you square in the face, no one to reach out a hand when you are down and no magic lamp that you stumble across. If you want to make a change, you have to make it happen.
- Life Is Not Easy — But it is not hard either. Life is what you make of it.
- Everybody Dies — You could live decades past 80 and days past 20; Death will find you sooner or later. What will you do until it does?
- You Cannot Have Everything You Want — But you can have anything you want. You just do not have time for it all so you are going to have to make a choice. What will you live for?
- You Will Get Hurt — No matter how much you try not to, your heart will be broken, your body will be in pain and you will make mistakes, loose and fail. But if you do not try you can never win.
- There Is No “Easy” Button — Well… technically there is, but all that will happen if you push it is a voice will say “That was easy” after which nothing happens. For life itself, however, no button exists that will fix everything without any effort.
