A hard truth to accept is that even though I say, I’m doing this for me, I’m losing weight for my happiness, for my confidence, for my health, etc. there will always be that underlying desire and expectation that once I reach these goals that I set for myself…
and normal to societal standards, it’s harder to break down that mental barrier that encourages that change in perspective and active thought patterns to effectively rid myself of that shirking mentality…
The bare minimum is simply the absence of a problem.
It’s not the presence of something special.
A person showing consideration isn’t extraordinary.
Those things should be normal.
What distinguishes meaningful relationships is everything built on top of that foundation.
