10 Brutally Harsh Life Truths I Wish I Knew Earlier
Most of us create a self at some point in life,
fueled by youthful optimism, backed by parental love,
and a hefty dose of “everything is possible” spirit.
But life, bless its unsentimental heart, has a way of turning
everything dark in an instant.
There are moments – a career setback, a broken friendship,
the dawning realization that will stick with you forever.
The hurt forms a scar in your heart that no medicine can remove.
This isn’t a recipe for cynicism, though.
It’s about shedding the sugarcoating of one side of reality and embracing
the brutal truths that life throws our way.
Knowing that life is not always sunny will
prepare you for dark days.
This knowledge will give you the tools
to navigate unexpected turns, dust yourself off after a failure,
and ultimately build an authentic and fulfilling life.
So, consider this your unfiltered guide,
a list of the lessons I wish someone had taught me.
Here are the 10 Brutally Harsh Life Truths I Wish I Knew Earlier:
1. Take your financial life seriously. Money is a defense to a lot of challenges.
Prioritize financial management and planning
because it is the foundation of a stable and secure future.
Financial resources can protect you from much disrespect
and enhance your life.
2. Be kind, but don’t let people use you.
Practice kindness and compassion,
but also set strict boundaries so people won’t use you.
Understand that not everyone is good.
Protect your well-being.
3. Be selfish with your time. A lot of people don’t deserve it.
Value your time because it is the most valuable thing in your life.
Prioritize activities and relationships that add value to your life,
and never waste time on the ones that bring trouble to you.
4. Don’t trust words. Trust actions.
People’s words reveal who they project;
their actions reveal who they are.
Never judge people’s character based on what they say.
Actions are a more reliable indicator of intentions and character.
5. You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
Accept that the mistakes you made in the past can’t be changed,
but remember that you have the power to shape
your future in the way you desire.
6. Don’t go broke trying to impress broke people.
Avoid spending money to impress others,
Just don’t do it. It leads to nothing good.
Focus on your financial goals and well-being instead.
7. No one is going to figure out your life. It’s your responsibility.
Take responsibility for your own life
and actions because no one is coming to save you.
Your life is your responsibility.
It is up to you to turn it into what you want.
8. What other people think of you is none of your business.
As long as you align your actions with your values,
people’s criticisms should never affect you.
Waste no time looking for their validation or approval.
9. Stop telling people everything. Most people don’t care, and some secretly want you to fail.
Be selective about what you share with others.
Maintaining privacy will protect your plans
from being sabotaged by your enemies.
10. Sometimes, the things that break your heart end up fixing your vision.
Yes.
