No matter how bad something hurts you now, you will look back and realize the struggles you went through changed your life for the better. The only person you have to face is yourself; besides, you will not know the true value of a moment in time until it becomes a memory.
Life is truly a mirror. It will reflect back to you what you think into it. Self love comes from self control. The best kind of revenge is getting to a place of no longer caring about revenge. I have come so very far in that respect. I no longer feel I have to be vindicated. It's having true freedom.
I will say, a person will never respect themselves if they are a people pleaser. Life does not get any easier. What it is is that you have gotten to be a stronger person. What another person thinks of you just does not matter. Think of all the time and energy that is wasted trying to keep other people happy with you. What you think about yourself is what is truly important. People you love will hurt you. Friends can turn into strangers in the blink of an eye. Our parents were having to figure this stuff out the same as we are. It's something every generation has had to come to terms with.
If anyone ever makes you question your worth, you do not need that kind of person in your life. I had a person I considered a close friend but whenever I was around that person they were always making subtle rude remarks to me. It was every time we spent any time visiting. To be honest, I got to where I just did not want to be around them and eventually distanced myself from them. After several months of not seeing them, I guess I started feeling guilty. I told them what had caused the distance and they turned everything around making it as though it was me being too sensitive. I gave them one more chance and it was not long before the same old patterns showed up again. That was it... I got my fill. They are no longer in my life.
Sometimes, you just have to do what you know is best for you.
Quality of friends over quantity of friends always wins. Words can inspire someone but action will create change. We are what we repeatedly do. Focus on your values and goals you are passionate about. Small daily actions shape who we become.
Failure is not fatal; it's the courage to continue that counts.
What lies in your past or lies before you is a small matter compared to what lies within you. Your mindset determines your possibilities. Consistently moving forward keeps you on your path to improvement. Collect ideas, become one that takes notice of everything around you. The world is chocked full of wisdom and experiences. Start writing. Having a good writing skill will cultivate discipline within you.
The discipline of your thoughts will become much more structured over time. You live most of your life inside your head. It's a great thing to make sure it's a nice comfortable place to be.
