When someone finally sits you down and tells you the cold hard truth, it can be difficult to hear.
But if you want to get the most of our life, you need to get to the heart of the matter and cut the crap out of your life so you can focus on what’s actually important.
Here are 22 brutal truths about life no one wants to admit but they’ll make you a much better person when you do.
Guess what? Everything you have ever felt has already been felt by everyone else around you.
It’s time to realize that your pain isn’t special; it’s just part of being alive. No one cares.
We weren’t all born with talent. If there’s anything inside of you that says, “I’m good at doing this,” then you need to make your life about doing this. If you throw it away, you throw away everything.

Stop trying. Make sure you make the most important person in the world your friend: yourself.

Don’t make your life about grieving over others and worrying about the day they’ll lay down and die. Death is a part of life; live life while you have it.
Remember the you who lives in the place beyond your anxieties, stresses, and worries. The you who defines who you really are, surrounded by what makes you smile and what makes you passionate. Remember that “you” always.
As tough as your day may be, remember that someone out there will always be living something worse. Find something to be grateful about, whether it’s a friend who loves you, a skill no one else has, or even a great dinner. Always remember to be grateful.
Anyone can dream, and that’s why so many people do. But how many people actually go out and try to accomplish their dreams? Not even half as many. Stop sitting around waiting for a genie to give you everything you ever wanted, and start working towards it.
You can only live life from one perspective: yourself. After you are gone, there’s nothing else; your version of life is done. So why not make you the best version of you that you can be? Invest in yourself, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Not yesterday, not tomorrow. Today is the only time that matters. Start living in it right now.
