1.The world does not stop just
because you’re having a bad day.
It is understandable if you’re having a bad day to take some time for
yourself, but you can’t expect for the
world to stop spinning just because
you do. There are some occasions
that you can take a moment from it,
but just by blowing important things
off, just because you’re mad/sad/
annoyed, doesn’t fly. Especially if you have something very important to do,because not everyone is patient to wait for you to get out of your funk or get yourself together.
2.“You are not a unique snowflake”.
There is only one “you,” however, if you’re sitting back and thinking: ”I know I’m going to make it because no one can do it like me,” that’s when you’re sadly mistaken.
Yes, you do have an amazing talent,
but you’re not the only one with it. To succeed in life, if you can’t rest on the fact that you’re the best at something.
You have to also strive, work hard,
and be personable. Yeah, you might
be able to do something fantastic, but always remember that there is
someone else who can always take
your place if need be.
3.Do not become comfortable in
dysfunction.
Life is extremely crazy sometimes and sometimes when you’re trying to learn how to roll with the punches, you end up allowing yourself to stay in an unhealthy situation due to laziness.
Now it’s true that you can’t spell
“dysfunctional” without “fun,” but too much “fun” can be bad for you.
If you’re in a bad relationship, or poor situation in your life, don’t become comfortable in it. You definitely deserve better in your life.
4.Two half people do not make a
whole person.
As humans we are meant to be social creatures, and wanting to be in a romantic relationship is expected.
However, if you feel as if you are a
hurt and broken person, trying to be
in a relationship should not be a
means for you to feel better about
yourself. It’s even worse when you try to get into a relationship with
someone who is just as broken as you are. Just because you two find each other, doesn’t mean that you should be together. Make sure that you’re in a better, more whole place first before you enter into a relationship with someone else.
5.“Scared money don’t make money.
When trying to go after
your dream job, it can be extremely
terrifying, and a lot of times we can
talk ourselves out of something.
However, letting your fear consume
you only hinders you and your ability to succeed. You have to want it more than you are afraid of it. Only then will you be able to succeed.
6.All criticism isn’t “hate”.
Yes, you are amazing, wonderful, and fabulous, but just because someone points out a flaw doesn’t mean that they’re hating on you. There will be people who will only want to point out your weaknesses so they can feel better about themselves, but just because someone criticizes you
(especially if it’s constructive) doesn’t
mean that you should dismiss it. See it as something to help you improve yourself. Even if they are trying to hate, use it as a means to better yourself.
7.Sometimes it’s not everyone else.
There’s a story of a man who went to a friend’s house, but shortly left after he smelled a foul smell. He went to another friend’s house, and left for the same offense. After visiting multiple friends’ homes and deeming them disgusting, he goes to his house, to find that the odor was at his house.
Turns out the source of the odor was Something foul that he stepped in and carried into each house.
Remember that when you’re thinking that there’s something wrong with everyone else in the world, that’s the moment you need to check yourself and make sure that you’re not playing a role in the craziness. Remember what Albert Einstein said: ”Insanity is
doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results.”
If your personality persists and you
keep on losing friends in new
relationships, that’s when
introspection is needed.
8.Sometimes closure is a solitary act.
It would be nice if life was like the
movies, or television shows, where
you can get answers to how and why certain things happened, or why people do what they do. However, life isn’t like that, and obsessing over the fact someone hurt you is doing more harm to you than them. If you feel like
getting answers will help you to heal, then go for it. However, sometimes you have to get your closure on your own.
9.Keep your name good in these
streets.
You will not be be best friends with
everyone, but you should be at least
on a cordial tip with most, because
especially in this day and age, it’s not
what you know, it’s who you know.
