hard truths

LINK: hard truths

What is a difficult truth you had to accept?

There have been quite a few lessons that I had to learn along the way:

  • it doesn’t matter how hard I work, it’s who I know
  • sometimes, my best isn’t good enough
  • if I want something done, I have to do it myself… no one is gonna do it for me
  • I can’t force love
  • practice doesn’t always mean perfect
  • I can’t please everyone, so stop trying
  • I ought to listen to my brain more often because my heart is a liar and it betrays me every time
  • my parents aren’t invincible
  • in the end, everyone and everything dies… except McDonald’s burgers and fries
  • the world doesn’t stop because I’m having a shitty day
  • I can only trust a very small number of people in this world
  • I can’t work harder than my patients
  • it’s okay to say “no”

    And chicken mcnuggets only taste good when you’re a child, as an adult you ask yourself “wtf?” These taste horrible. 🙂

    Some of those truths are harder than others, and some I begrudgingly refuse to accept, even though I know in my (lying) heart they are true.

    I suppose there is some comfort, or maybe perspective, to be found in knowing the world doesn’t stop when you’re having a bad day.

    But it’s not comforting when you come to the realization that there are only a very small number of people out there you can trust and rely on.

    Having a dog helps coping with all of them, though…

        That’s the beauty of being a dog. No matter how miserable the world, they are content to just love you unconditionally.

    Nice lessons, and very wise! I agree with almost everything, except a few.

    It always matters how hard you work not because it will give you an immediate reward but because of who you’ll become. It’s like treating people well – it’s not because they deserve it, it’s because you deserve it.

    Good list, everything is right on target, especially McDonald’s burgers and fries don’t die. We die because of them, but yolo that’s all.

    I think you have a handle on it. It’s just actually putting what you know into play that is ever so difficult.
