One Thing Everyone “Needs” to Hear, But They Ignore
Choices have consequences, but most don’t know how to handle the hand they dealt themselves.
At some time in your life, you will be faced with brutal consequences of repeated choices or one choice alone. Most likely, it will be from your own actions; other times, it will be at the hands of others. How you handle that consequence will determine how the rest of your life will play out.
If you don’t handle it correctly, it will reappear in different scenarios and even people. It’s impossible to escape the lessons of life. We can ignore them, act like they aren’t there, distract ourselves, run from them, and many other things, but they won’t go anywhere until you deal with them head-on.
The human mind is programmed to avoid pain and discomfort, but sometimes it’s exactly what we need to move on to the next phase in life.
The unfortunate reality is that most continue to run in circles chasing and escaping the things they need to tackle head-on.
And by the time most realize it, they are so far into life there is little time to make the correction you have been avoiding as it compounds over the years, hell, maybe even decades.
It feels safe as you settle into your miserable comfort, but there is no safety there. It’s all an illusion or probably the most self-inflicted gaslighting heist ever pulled off.
Is that what you want?
Sometimes escaping isn’t the answer. Actually, it’s what got you in the spot you’re in right now.
