10 Harsh Truths You Should Know for a Good Life
Life is complex, mysterious, and deep.
What seems good may not be good
and what looks bad may not be bad.
I have seen miserable people with too much money, cars, girls, and fame,
and I have met happy people
with the bare minimum living a really good life.
This experience makes you question many things in life.
Is the life that our society promotes as a good life really a good life?
The life where you are successful, famous,
and have everything you wished for or they are just lying.
The truth is subjective.
But a good life has nothing to do with external factors,
it has everything to do with being fulfilled
and living a purposeful life.
Here are the 10 Harsh Truths You Should Know for a Good Life:
1. You can’t control a lot of things, but you can control how you respond.
You can’t control the weather,
people’s judgment and opinions, and people’s actions
but you can always control yourself
and how you respond to them.
Focus on yourself.
2. Life isn’t always happy, but there’s value in both the bad and the good.
Bad days teach us resilience and force us
to develop the necessary strength to keep going.
Good days make us appreciate life
and everything that is beautiful in it.
Appreciate both.
3. Nothing lasts forever, and that’s a good thing.
Everything is temporary,
that includes your pain, happiness, joy, and struggles.
Learn to embrace everything that life throws at you.
4. We can do our best and still fail, and it’s not our fault.
That’s a harsh truth that you have to accept about life.
You can work the hardest and still not succeed
but it has nothing to do with you.
Be proud of yourself for giving your best and move on.
5. You’re not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s OK.
You are not a friend of everyone
and not everyone you know likes you,
and that’s completely fine.
Embrace yourself as you are
and don’t go out of your way to please others or gain their favor.
6. The past is gone, but you can build a great future on its foundation.
Your past is sealed and you can’t change it
but you can use the experience to create
the future that you desire.
You now know what not to do and which path to not follow.
7. The beliefs of others are not your concern, acceptance is.
Don’t try to change others’ beliefs because you can’t.
It is up to them to change their beliefs
if they see the truth in what you are preaching.
8. Some people and situations are harmful, and there’s strength in walking away.
Learn to set boundaries and walk away
from negative people who bring you headaches and problems.
Life is not worth all the trouble that some people bring.
9. Deceit and games don’t fuel careers, trust is the key.
You are your own brand and if you build
a brand on games and deceit, it will not last.
People will eventually know the truth.
Focus on the long-term gain instead of short-term reward.
10. Many things you can’t choose, but you have a choice in everything you do.
Yes.
