Truths I've learned about Life
Everyone is Selfish-
his is not necessarily in a greedy way, but Regardless of how genuine, generous, and sincere a person can be more often than not they’re still always looking out for themselves first, everyone else second.
I don’t blame them though, it’s completely okay to be your own needs before anyone else.
Sadly most people aren’t even aware they’re in this selfish frame… which leads them to test their limits with you and everything else in life. Everyone pushes as far as they can within comfort, so unless you step up and define your boundaries, they’ll take all they can get from you.
Not Everyone will be Happy with you-
Think about all of the different things people want from you, be it your parents, siblings, friends, lovers. They all expect you to act in a certain way and when you don’t, they get upset. Don’t ever strive to make everyone in your life happy, because more often than not you will fail in your attempt to do so. It is an impossible task.
What you can do is focus on doing what you love. Because at the end of the day the only person you have to answer to is yourself.
The world doesn’t owe you anything –
Possibly one of the most powerful truths of all. You could be the most powerful, beautiful, intelligent and caring person on the planet, but if you do nothing with what you’ve got, you will get nothing in return. Never expect people to do things for you or that things will come to you.
Just know that there are two options you have when it comes to this: spend your life jaded, feeling entitled to things you don’t have, or you can work hard for yourself and create the life you want. I think you know which is better.
Actions speak louder than thoughts or words –
The reality that we live in can be an unfortunate truth for some while being a miraculous gift for others; how we view the world around us says a lot about the actions we take. Fantasizing about a better world is fine, but at the end of the day all you’re doing is thinking to yourself. Take your good intentions and pair them with the reciprocative actions and start doing, rather than simply thinking. Define yourself through the action you take, not the action you do not take.
