5 uncomfortable truths that we all need to accept.

A THREAD

1. Happiness is where you are now, or nowhere at all.

Happiness is not in a new job, or in a new car, or in a new relationship.

Until you need to give up on the idea that happiness is somewhere else it'll never be where you are.

2. Quitting is for winners too.

Contrary to popular opinion, quitting is also for winners.

Knowing when to quit, change direction or give up on something that isn't working and move on, is a very important skill.

But don't quit because it's hard.

Quit because it sucks.

3. Taking no risk is the biggest risk.

You HAVE to risk failure to succeed.

You have to risk rejection to be accepted.

You have to risk heartbreak to love.

If you're always avoiding risk, you're risking missing out on life.

4. If you're happy alone, you'll be happy in a relationship.

There is no independence in dependency.

There is no personal security in attaching yourself to a secure person

Until you have a healthy relationship with yourself, you won't make healthy decisions with someone else.

5. It's not your job to fix damaged people.

Your responsibility to help someone will never outweigh their responsibility to help themselves.

Often, our own toxic romantic and non-romantic attachments tell a story about the issue we have within ourselves.
