8 Harsh Truths that Will Improve Your Life

They say life is what we make of it. By the end of this post, I hope to havehelped you decide whether that statement is true or not.

There is no dout that life has its ups and downs. However, how we deal with

them can sometimes make all the di!erence. Today I want to share ei"ht

harsh truths that I#ve come to learn from life. There#s also a messa"e in each

that I think we can all learn from, and when applied, will improve our lives

in$nitely.

%ome of these lessons may e old&hat for you. If so, look for ways to re$ne

the idea to ensure your "ettin" the most out of it. 'n the other hand, you

may completely disa"ree with an idea or two and that#s "reat( Let us know

your thou"hts so we can all learn from each other.

When I was in hi"h school, I always ima"ined spendin" most of my life with

the same people. Then when I realied I had to move to colle"e, that allchan"ed. 'nce a"ain, I made some close colle"e friends ut left them all

ehind when I moved from the - to %outh /frica.

)riends will always come and "o in your life0 even thou"h I#m ack in the

- now, all my friends are in university around the country and not e1actly in

meetin" distance. It can e a hard thin" to accept, ut many of the friends

you spend time with now, mi"ht not e around in the ne1t few years.

Important Lesson2 There are an aundance of amain" people out there for

you to meet and uild relationships with. If you don#t have many friends,

don#t stress, there are literally illions of friendship possiilities.

I rememer one *hristmas when the only thin" I had asked for was some

second hand turntales for 34#in". I didn#t ask for anythin" else so I was

pretty sure I would "et them. However, they didn#t come and I ended up

havin" to save for 56 months on my own in order to purchase them.

You won#t always "et what you want in life2 people are "oin" to e late,

people will let you down, items you want won#t always e availale.

Important Lesson2 3on#t look for happiness in material possessions and if

thin"s don#t "o your way, learn to accept them. Life#s too short to stay

miserale.

7any eople Will Love You, ut 7any Will 9ot

Whether you are a celerity, a charity worker or :ust a normal "uy, there

are "oin" to e people that love you and what you do, ut there#s also "oin"

to e plenty people that don#t like you. There are many possile reasons such

as :ealousy, similarities to them, or :ust not ein" someone#s #type#.

Important Lesson2 9ot everyone is always "oin" to like you, and that#s $ne.

If people want to spend time talkin" aout you then that is their prolem. You

are perfect as you are. You shouldn#t need everyone to like you to have someform of self&esteem.

Wouldn#t it e lovely if we didn#t have to "o up on sta"e, ut we could :ust

read a para"raph of a lo" post and ecome a perfect pulic speaker; 'r,

wouldn#t it e nice if our friends could do darin" thin"s, and we would ene$t

from them as well;

The support and help of others can only take you so far, you#re "oin" to

have to do your own thin" to make i" chan"es in your life situation.

makin" me any money. I even put hundreds of hours into my own company

companies, or even the odd pu =ui, there are times when you will fail to

meet your "oals.

Important Lesson2 You can learn a lot from others, ut it is your own

failures that are "oin" to teach you the most valuale lessons in life. Learn

from your failures, emrace them, and use them to drive you on to success.

Whether it is money, partners, friends or even lo" suscriers, there will

always e areas where other people have more than you. That isn#t to say

you can#t ecome aundant in whatever you want Ai.e. someone always had

more money than Warren Bu!ett until 668 when he was noted to e the

richest man in the worldC.

The wantin" of more actually holds a very important lesson...

Important Lesson2 4ust ecause someone has #more#, that doesn#t mean

they are happy. ?ead the io"raphy of any celerity and they will tell you

they en:oy their process of earnin" money, rather than what money can do to

make them happy. In other words, focus on what you love, not what the thin"

you love can "et you.

B'9-%2 Linkin" all the lessons here to"ether is actually =uite simple, and I

can share the ma:ority of what you need to know to en:oy life in a few simpleullet points2
