This Is Painful: 5 Harsh Truth I Wished I Knew 10 Years Ago by Pukkalolo: 8:29pm On Oct 22, 2022
Let's get right to it:


1) There's No time.

You think you have time but you don't. Your 20's will come and go faster than your think. Decide what you want to do with your life NOW and get to work NOW.




2) Negativity is the road to positivity.

There are positive experiences: getting married, graduations, new cars, new apartments, engagements, vacations, new jobs, promotions, making more money...

There are negative experiences: getting rejected, messing up a project, not being able to fix a problem, embarrassing yourself in front of everyone, being criticized, failing an examination, not being invited to an event, getting a query letter, getting your heart shattered by the one you love, getting sacked at work, failing at a project...

Everyone wants the positive experiences and avoid the negatives experiences by all means.
But here's the fact: those who are having an amazing life AREN'T those who are having mainly positive experiences: It those who are good at handling the negative experiences.

If you can to learn to handle and endure the negatives experiences life throws; and use it as a stepping stones, then YOU ARE ON TO SOMETHING GREAT.




3) There Is No Perfect time

Having the mindset of "I can always improve on this stuff" is better than "this stuff must be perfect".

Trying to make the perfect moves limits you to a whole lot of things. Its one of the main causes of procrastination because you would over analyze and over think things instead of just doing something.

Perfection doesn't really exist. Look at this write up you're reading now. It's not perfect, but it's still drive the point across to you effortlessly. If I was trying to come up with a perfect write-up, there would be no write-up.




4. People Will Come and Go

Some friends will get married and stop associating with you; some will travel to another town, state or country and reduce communication with you; some will get better opportunity and stop interacting with you because they think they are no more in your level; some will basically start distancing themselves from you for whatever reason.
It's part of life, accept it and don't try to force friendship. Start making YOUR GOALS YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY .
.



5) Most of your Friends don't want you to be Successful

I know, this is too bitter to accept, but that's just the truth. This doesn't necessarily mean they low-key hate you, its just that they don't want you to be above them. This is unfortunately true.


That's it...Stay blessed.

The number 5 is bea.......no argument.

Please add Uncle in that number 5

most of our Uncle don't want anybody from the same lineage/clan to be better than them.

That's just Black Man Mentality.

Learn to be Selfish, never put people interest, happiness before yours. Most time people call you selfish/self-centered, is when their manipulation fails to work and they still want to guilt-trip you

Refuse to do good when it interfare with the BEST.

NOBODY really got your back, even you shadow leaves you in darkness (there are few exceptions where your family/friend[s] helps).

Never tell anyone your next big plan except they are part of the plan or have a role to play.

Dont hurt others unless it interfare with your peace of mind, remember MENTAL HEALTH is the most underated HEALTH.

Love is transactional, the moment you stop meeting the other party needs (emotionally, financially etc), the so-called love begins to fade.

Learn to say NO

Always resist the urge to shalaye because those who matter dont care and those who care dont matter.
