5 Truths That Hurt But Will Make You Better!
“In life, what you want and what you get are rarely perfectly congruent.”
1. Being honest and direct may not make you the most popular person in the room. But it will make you the right friends and contacts. If you try to please everyone, you will be surrounded by vultures and predators. And when things get tough, they will all flee.
The people you surround yourself with will make you or break you.
2. No one else can provide you with the precise answers you require to be happy and successful. People can give you advice based on their life experiences and what they’ve read or learned from someone else. Truly, you are the only one who knows your strengths and weaknesses. You are the only one with your advantages and disadvantages. Everything you need is already in you.
You were made in the image of God, so act like His ambassador here on earth.
3. The draw of comfort is the biggest dream killer. In the end, you can be comfortable or courageous, but not both at once. When you’ve good results never become complacent rather push for new levels and when you’re chasing greatness comfort should be the least of your worries rather lean on insane courage, determination, grit, and perseverance.
4. We all make choices, but in the end, our choices make Us. The decisions we make have consequences; some are immediate while others are in tomorrow waiting for us. Don’t make choices that will harm your future self. Life experiences build our thoughts, our thoughts dictate the choices we make and our choices shape our reality. Always think about the end results of your choices.
5. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be at this very moment. Every experience and step is necessary. In life, there are seasons and this is true with our own lives. Some seasons we can’t pray away, we have to grow through them.
Each season comes with opportunities, pain, joy, and truth. Most times we don’t even know we are doing something wrong until life’s storm hits us hard. This will give us the discernment to organize our lives.
