14 Deep and Harsh Truths you need to understand about Life
I post a lot about life truths and facts on this website regardless of how harsh they are.
In some phases of our lives, we need to stop resisting harsh truths about life and start accepting and
Understanding these truths increases your awareness about life and improves your judgment on what’s right or wrong.
Truths you need to understand about life

1. Unproductive days quickly become unproductive years if you don’t sharpen your focus.
Don’t get yourself tricked by telling yourself lies about your unproductive. Lies like:
- I’ll do it later
- It’s easy, I can do it next time
- I have enough time tomorrow
- I’ll sleep and get it done after I wake up
You are not giving yourself excuses; you are teaching yourself how to make better excuses.
What you teach yourself embeds itself deeply in your subconscious and becomes a habit.
These unproductive days change into unproductive months and become your reality. This habit determines your future.
2. A walk is never a waste of time, it calms the mind, it calms the mind, it gives you ideas, you feel happier.
One of the facts I understood late in life is that: productivity, hard work, discipline, determination, and planning are important, but what is more important is what improves these values.
Being highly productive and disciplined is important, but exercising, reading books, and taking a walk are very important.
They increase your productivity, make you feel better, and give you better insight. Time spent doing all these things is not wasted; it’s invested. It has a high ROI.
3. As you get smarter, you use simpler words and make clearer sentences.
People aren’t convinced by many words; they are easily convinced by meaningful sentences that make sense.
Smart people don’t talk a lot, which makes their character attractive.
4. Great relationships don’t distract you from your personal goals; they get you there.
Many people use relationships as an excuse for not achieving their goals. Great relationships push you to become the best version of yourself.
The people around you can spot your weakness easily and direct you the right way. With the right people around you, you will get further in life.
5. People are disappointed in you when they can’t manipulate you.
You are a difficult person to anyone who can’t manipulate you. People get mad when you don’t fall victim to their deceitful plans because you can see their intentions.
Never apologize for that and it’s completely okay not to be liked by others. You did the right thing by standing up for yourself.
6. The smarter you get, the less you get offended.
This can be applied to old people. The older and smarter you get, the less offended you become.
Most of the things said don’t matter and are just words. If you are a king, you can’t be offended when a peasant insults you.
When you know yourself, people’s opinions about you don’t affect you that much.
7. You meet interesting people during the process of becoming the best version of yourself.
The best days of your life are the uncomfortable days when you are leveling up.
You meet like-minded people and explore yourself in a way you never knew. Some qualities in the people you meet are the reflection of yourself.
To find out that, you have to dare to become the better version of yourself.
8. When you are not sure, choose the more ambitious path.
If you have two choices, whether to pursue a new project or settle for what you have; choose the more ambitious choice.
That’s where you will grow and learn new things. If you decide to stay where you are, just be sure that you will spend the rest of your life doing the same thing.
If you choose the ambitious path; you will learn, grow, and evolve because of new challenges, places, and people. It’s an experience you have to experience once in your lifetime.
9. People with no goals and ambitions consistently invent drama.
You will rarely find an ambitious person who’s focused on his/her goal of inventing drama. That’s what people with no goals and drama do.
They do it because that’s the only thing they can do. It’s a life truth you should know.
Associate yourself with people who have goals and ambitions; they know what they want in life. Conversation with them is always better.
10. Maybe you are not an introvert; maybe you just need better people.
Some people aren’t introverts; they are introverted because of the people around them.
No matter how extroverted you are, if you are around toxic people, you will learn to become an introvert around them.
This makes your life better. But you will become highly extroverted around the people you vibe with.
11. Building self-confidence is the art of keeping promises you made yourself.
Qualities like self-confidence aren’t built with words; you have to prove yourself to yourself.
- You promised yourself to hit the gym and stay disciplined.
- You promised yourself to save $1,000 this month, do whatever it takes
When you keep these promises to yourself, you automatically become confident in your ability to achieve whatever you say.
12. Learn to say no; some people feel no shame when they take advantage of your kindness.

Some people prioritize their desires and will never be ashamed of what they do.
You have to learn to build a healthy boundary and say no when it’s necessary.
13. One way to find yourself is to live alone in a foreign country. New rules, new language, and new people.
If you are lost because you have been through a lot and started wondering who you truly are, here’s the solution.
14. You don’t change when you live abroad, you simply rediscover how much of your personality is conditioned by where you live.
This might confuse you, but a big part of your personality is shaped by where you live.
