17 harsh truths about life

1. The world doesn’t give a damn about you until you make it.

2. People will try to take advantage of your kindness. Make sure you surround yourself with honest individuals

Check in, be valuable. Don’t take people for granted

7. Respect is a 2 way street.

Don’t be afraid to cut out those that do not reciprocate your effort.

8. Life doesn’t always give you what you want, it gives you what you need.

It can sometimes be a tough pill to swallow but it makes you stronger

9. You can separate yourself from the competition so much easier by being consistent rather than simply talented

10. You are responsible for your own life. You can only control what you are in control of, stop focusing on outside interference

11. Bad days will come and that’s a fact.

Deal with it when that time comes. Worrying won’t prevent it from happening.

12. There is never a right time, opportunities present themselves and it is up to you to take them

13. Your loved ones aren’t perfect just as you aren’t either

14. Relying on one income stream is being one step away from financial hardship

15. You are only a number to your job. All that time you give up, to then be replaced in a heartbeat

16. If you don’t do it someone else will. There are always people willing to do what you won’t. Be proactive

17. Life is short. You may only get one go at it. Make the most out of it

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Steve Jobs
