4 Kinda Harsh Personal Growth Truths You Need To Remember

This one's a short one today, but sometimes the smallest reminders pack the biggest punches. Be your best and most genuine self, always. 

Lots of love from L&F.

1. Never Compete With Others

Your only competition should be yourself, and that way, you will always walk away the winner. Are you a happier and better person than you were yesterday? Are you any closer to your life goals than a previous version of yourself?

2. Gratitude Is A Virtue

Comparison is the thief of joy. Be happy for the small things in life, but strive for more. Do not allow yourself to be resigned to a life you don’t want, but neither should you allow yourself to be ungrateful for what you do have. If you are not satisfied with your life, simply change it.

3. Not Everyone Will Understand Your Growth

And that’s ok. You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. The only person you have to answer to at the end of the day is you. If you find that you are disappointed in yourself at the end of the day, then do something about it.

4. Your Future Is Shaped By What You Tolerate Today

Raise your standards, even if it is difficult. And yes, that pertains to the people you socialize with too. People will treat you how you allow them to treat you.
