9 Harsh Truths I wish I understood in my 20's:
1. Everyone is responsible for their choices and behavior. At the end of the day, it's always on us.
2. Quick fixes are popular because healing take time, new habits, and consistent commitment.
3. There might not be the one. Focusing on finding the perfect person takes away the time you could be learning how to self regulate and communicate.
4. We all self sabotage. We all have narcissistic traits. We all have self doubt. Welcome to being human.
5. People's opinions are mostly projections. You can learn from all feedback, but also know it's extremely bias. Nothing is personal.
6. Not everything needs to be fixed. The wisest people know how to sit with the pain and suffering people experience without saying or doing much of anything.
7. People pleasing is an attempt to control people's perception of us. Once you face that, you can finally start to let it go.
8. No one has a perfect life. Stop romanticizing the life of other people. We all carry things we don't talk about.
9. Your body doesn't just age because of genetics. It ages because of how it's cared for. Care for your body, it's your vessel for navigating life.
Which do you think is most important to learn in this life?
Retweet if you felt this to be true.
your journey is yours only. you are not here to make anyone understand it. you are simply here to live it and enjoy yourself along the way. let them doubt. your success, joy and triumph will be all the explanation you need.
God,
I want my roots to be so deep in You that when situations come to rock me, I will withstand disruption. I will keep my eyes fixed on You so that nothing can cause me to lose focus. Instead, I will dig my roots deeper & let my praise grow even louder. In Jesus Name, Amen
