will burn
burn the illusions we chose
we built
to avoid facing the ugly
about ourselves
but there is no growth
without facing reality
seek to understand
pay the price of the pain
the only way out

books-n-quotes:
“If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth” – Carl Sagan
don’t run from the truth
start with the truth
about yourself
the truth will set you free
even from yourself
be kind
supportive
compassionate
understanding
with yourself,
past and present
as you would be
with your closest, dearest friend
but don’t cut yourself
any slack, don’t spoil yourself
coddle, enable, excuse,
justify toxicity, reactivity
and call it “loving” yourself
self “love” without self awareness
isn’t actually valuing yourself
enough to do what is best for you
no matter how hard it may be
it is, instead, a path to
egocentric, solipsistic narcissism

“Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.”
— Brian Tracy
no.
positive change
starts with
self-awareness
and owning your shit.
over time
people will always
show you who they are
listen to what they do
more than what they say
realize
you’re not fooling anyone
either
