We all wish to relive the golden times when we were kids and life was easy, aren’t we? As we grow old and take up responsibilities for ourselves, everything around us changes and all we could wish for is, to be stronger to survive it. The world isn’t a far far away land from our fairy tales where everything happens for good. There are people who are going to hurt you, situations that are brutal enough to tear you apart and emotions that will push you to the darker side and demand you to give up.
As life continues to grill you at each and every phase, you just can’t choose to be vulnerable all the time. A weak person cannot sustain all the obstacles, however, a strong person can get past all this keeping their mind and heart intact to the positive side.
To be stronger you need to fall out of your imagination and recognize the hard-hitting reality of life. Here are some of the brutal truths about life that can actually help you grow as a stronger person.
1. No One Is Too Busy To Be A Part Of Your Life.
It’s hard to accept that someone might really don’t want to do anything with us anymore owing to the fact that they were with you before. The truth is that no one is too busy to respond or to be in your life. Sometimes people just outgrow from each other’s life.
2. No One’s Gonna Stick For You.
You are the only person who can have the best interests about yourself. The truth is no one is gonna stick for you until you stick for yourself. No one else will think of you because they are too busy thinking about themselves and that’s what you should do. After all, everyone has their own best interest at heart.
3. You Are Not Born To Please Everyone.
Despite the fact that you are a good human being, there will always be someone who you can’t just keep happy. Not everyone’s gonna be happy with you, so just stop pleasing. Do your best and when people end up getting disappointed rather than blaming yourself, just be content that you tried.
4. Some People Are Simply Bad.
To find a silver lining in everyone is a good approach, however, you need to accept the fact that sometimes it’s just not there. People may say good things but end up acting worse. Just realize that you need to get away from them ASAP!
5. You Want Something, You Work For It.
The world you live in owes you nothing, so when you crib why you, it’s probably because you haven’t worked for it. If you want something, get on it yourself, expect nothing, absolutely nothing from the world.
6. Life Isn’t Fair And You Don’t Have A Batman To Save You.
You are gonna fail. You are gonna meet people who will put you down. There are going to be circumstances that will be against you. You need to realize that there is no knight in shining armor to save you. You need to be that hero yourself. You need to lose undeserving people and define your life.
7. You Can’t Reverse Time.
Time actually waits for no one and if you won’t respecting it, time will put you through hell and make you regret not valuing it. You need to get up and live, you need to be with people you love. You need to fulfill all the desires before the passion fades out. You need to start now.
8. True Love Can’t Save Everyone.
As fantastic as it feels to imagine the idea of true love, the truth is it’s not meant for everyone. You need to move over and understand that life is not only about love, there are million other things.
All of these things may sound disheartening and rude but the truth is that life is not defined in the nicest moments. It’s a blend of both nice and harsh and as soon as you accept it, it will make you stronger than ever.
