1/ Five Tempting Things You Should Avoid (a thread)
2/ It's tempting to be a people-pleaser...

To go with the flow, to give up a little here and there, just to make everyone else happy.

Conflict makes us all uncomfortable. But conflict is necessary to stand up for what we need.

Sometimes it's loving to tell someone "no."
3/ It's tempting to blame others for your situation...

We all get screwed in life, one way or another. We all suffer unfairly or experience some injustice.

And while we should never excuse that, we also have to realize that we're the only ones in charge of our own lives.

1/ Three major problems with basing your worldview solely on your feelings. A short thread.
2/ Your feelings are self-contained. They are solely experienced only by you, not by the world or the universe or that hot guy you saw at the gas station.
3/ Your feelings are temporary. They only exist in the moment they arise. They often disappear and reverse themselves as quickly as they began.
