If Self Improvement is Easy You Are Doing it Wrong

Since embarking on this journey of “self improvement” a little over 5 years ago, I’ve failed miserably. Maybe you feel the same?

But, are missteps, fuck ups, pain and misery failing? Not sure, I think it’s all part of the process.

I’m happy I’ve had the the balls to tackle this “elephant in the room.” Many love to write on self awareness or, post memes they think their life “is” but, take no action to get there. It looks really good to the outsider looking in, but if the outsider decides to go in it is ugly!

I believe the worst spot to be in is to believe you are self aware, but be no where near it.

Having the delusion you are working on self-improvement and you “love” yourself but, your actions show a whole different side that proves other wise.

I’m began to see the “light” when I lost hope. Not hope in general but, of others and things. No one is going to do the work for me. No amount of money, booze, food or relationships will make it easier. But will make it worse.

Losing all hope that someone, or something will be your meal ticket, is gaining significant amount of freedom.
