Your Biggest Problem Is Self-Talk

Stop being afraid to call yourself out.

You live in a world that is constantly leading you to believe you have to be the one to adjust. It isn’t that you complain or create drama. It isn’t that you put others down or make those you come in contact with feel bad about themselves. It’s that you settle.

And this isn’t me speaking for you, but admitting to my own fault and taking a wild guess that I’m not the only one guilty of this. We make excuses for the people around us who come up short, but why?

Day in and day out we convince ourselves that we are the problem and that others around us are without fault. We say things to the mirror that we wouldn’t say to our enemies. We shrug it off when others let us down or fill us with empty promises.

You deserve better than that.

You set your emotions on the back-burner and make excuses as to why it’s acceptable when another person doesn’t follow through, but you beat yourself up for weeks when you fall short. It’s okay to allow yourself to make mistakes and furthermore — to expect yourself to make them.

Your problem is you don’t stand up for yourself and call yourself out for it.
