Brutally Honest Truths About Life You Need to Accept
Your future self will thank you for it.
Lizzo said it best, “Truth Hurts.” As individuals, when a sliver of the truth pierces our eardrums, it can feel similar to pouring hot wax into them. However, the pain comes from the actual truth shattering the illusions in our minds we created, which we believed were true.
No matter how much it may hurt to hear, certain truths are ones we need to hear, including the ones I’ve written below.

We have an infamous saying in my household often spoken by my mother, which goes, “If you want something done, do it yourself.” I would not be able to count the number of times I have heard it on my fingers.
The saying encourages self-sufficiency and taking action. Essentially it means whatever you want out of life, it is your responsibility to go and get it, no one else’s. It is not up to your parents, friends, professors, colleagues; it is up to you.
They can be stepping stones to steer you in the direction you should head for, but that is it. If you want to start a business, travel, buy a house, become financially free, or find a partner, all of it is up to you.
