25 Brutal Truths About Life That Will Make You Rethink Everything
Or at least, give you some food for thought
Life is a funny thing. You’re born into the world, you go through life learning new stuff daily and facing challenges, you suffer from stress and anxiety, you experience love and joy, you win, and you lose, and then you die.
It doesn’t come with an instruction manual. We’re all just winging it and doing our best with what we know.
But what if we knew the secret to living a happy and fulfilled life? While I don’t have the answer, I do have 23 truths about life that will certainly change the way you live or think about life.
🟡Forgiveness Will Set You Free
Holding onto past hurts, keeping grudges, and staying angry at people from your past who hurt you only hurts you and damages your mental, emotional, and physical health.
The person who hurt you doesn’t care about you or how they hurt you or your emotional health, so why bother holding on to all this anger?
While it can be really hard to forgive someone who hurt you, it’s crucial for your overall well-being. Living a life full of anger, resentment, and hurt is unhealthy.
Do yourself a favor, forgive them, and set them free. Do it for you, not them.
🟡Everything is Temporary
The good and the bad. Nothing lasts forever, not even life. The people we meet, our relationships, our jobs, where we live, the things we stress about, and the situations we get in that we feel are hopeless.
It’s all temporary.
The worries we have today will be gone tomorrow. In turn, the joys we have today will also be gone and just memories tomorrow.
When you realize this, you may enjoy life more and learn to take things with a grain of salt.
