AT FIRST, ACCEPT.

You’re a hypocrite, you’ll hear.

You’re bigoted, you’ll hear.

You’re racist, you’ll hear.

No one likes you, you’ll hear.

Life throws shit at you to see what sticks. 

Always remember, when people say things, a) they are probably talking about themselves and b) they might be true or false.

You are never going to please everybody and nor should you.

Principles will divide people. Boundaries, by their very nature, will divide people. You get to choose how to live your life, you get to choose who you do and don’t spend time with.

Each one of us has great and terrible traits within us.

At first, accept where you are.

At first, accept what’ve you done.

At first, accept you can’t change the past.

Most of the time you waste is wishing things could be different. They can’t, they won’t, accept it.

And stop striving all the time for perfection. Abandon it.

Take steps, do it daily, do things that make you feel good about yourself, that make you accomplished, build consistency and, guess what……

Life gets better.
