The Truth You Are Afraid To Admit

Although many people believe that they are friends with reality and live for today, this is far from being the case.

The Truth You Are Afraid To Admit

Very often we ourselves are the culprits of our problems in everyday life and keep ourselves from happy moments, productivity and joy.

So what are we afraid to admit to ourselves?

We will not consider relations with the former, bosses, and “friends”.

1. Yes, I don’t care how you look! I love your soul!

Funny, right? A person will never see your soul at first (unless it’s an anonymous online dating). People always pay attention to the appearance of another person: it is either pleasant to them, or not very much. Often, on this basis, they can stop communicating with a person simply because “well, not mine, not comfortable.”

Appearance is important! Scientists have proven that attractive people (I’m not talking now about beautiful people according to “hell-knows-whose-parameters”) are more successful and rich. When a person is confident in himself and loves himself, people will like him, he will be the very magnet that attracts from all sides.

Let your beauty blossom. Love yourself! If you don’t love yourself, why should someone else love you?!

2. What are you talking about! I’m not selfish! A philanthropist is my middle name!

Blah blah blah! All people are engaged in consumerism. The ego is the second face of everyone. All people are selfish. You can’t fight it — you just have to take it for granted! People will always look for the benefit of everything … Otherwise, why waste time on something?

Do you like a person because he:

  • Either he treats you well;
  • Or he can be useful in some way;
  • Or you feel good in his company.

By the way, there are many more unpleasant things, such as, for example, consumerism and the like: the desire to “leave” at the expense of another person, by humiliation to raise self-esteem, communication for the sake of connections and status, benefits, and the like.

Why are you friends with your first 5 friends on social media? Answer yourself honestly.

3. Yes, I am unique! I will find “my” love, life, and success!

Well, yes, of course, as unique as the billions of people on this planet who are walking the same path, a couple of millimeters to the left or to the right. No, that doesn’t happen. everyone thinks that they are so unusual, for example, they eat ice cream with potatoes, wake up at 3 am and look at the stars or write beautiful poems.

Perhaps I will break your dreams, but you are the same as everyone else. There is a difference — to be individual or to be unique.

The same goes for your partner in life. Realistically, there are many people you can call Dream Girl and Perfect Boy. It just all depends on which of them you meet first, and who you like.

4. I will do it tomorrow (Monday, in September, in 2025, when I become …, when it comes, when-when-when)

In short, the main thing to remember is that life goes on, time flows. And everything has an end. So does your life. And, most unexpectedly, you do not know when everything will stop. Therefore, the advice of the day: “do and work, live and enjoy.” That’s all.

Tomorrow is gone. There are today. Only it is.

5. Oh, how stupid I am, I don’t know what the meaning of my life is! What do I want to do?

Bingo! This question is asked by everyone … everyone! You are not the only person who whines and fears the future. Just some can turn off and work. By the way, being busy is the best solution. It helps: try it — you’ll see.

Everyone wants to seem like an expert, they prove their point of view, they are looking for some abstract truth and the meaning of life. Nobody has found it yet. Rather, everyone found his own. Better go do something useful. This will help knock the crap out of your head. Many philosophers have gone mad, by the way, because they thought a lot. It is bad to be a thinker — it is good to be a doer.

6. Damn, yesterday I launched a business, but today it does not generate income. What am I doing wrong?

You don’t think so. Everything does not happen so quickly, on a silver platter. Usually, success implies the following system:

Success = Time + Strength + Failure + Probability + Confidence + Purposefulness + Positive Thinking + Strategic Thinking.

In short, everything is not simple at once. Everything takes time. If you are not successful, then you fight badly. Maybe neither there, nor like that, nor with those. Think, analyze.

By the way, here’s something else. Of course, not everyone likes this, but even if all of the above happens, success will not always come just in case. Then the following scheme works:

Success = Don’t give up (NEVER)

7. Life is such shit! I’m a loser! Life is terrible.

Poor thing! How can someone help you? Maybe yes for you, but I think that many are satisfied with their lives, position in society, status, etc. No, it’s not about luck. The fact is that they know what they want, and they know that they are the creators of their own destiny and life.

They set goals and achieve. While you’re whining that “#something’s wrong”

If you’re drowning, it’s only because you can’t swim. This is not a problem of boats passing by, a vest or a lifebuoy. And yes, the water is not always warm.
