There are truths about ourselves that we sometimes don't see or remember. What are they? A truth that has been recognized for thousands of years and has stood the test of time.There are some truths that we want to hide from ourselves because they cause us pain. Here are five of them and some ideas on how to accept these truths.
1. Face difficulty to accept reality
The great truth of the world is to be realistic in which most people fail. Most of the time, the situation is not as good as a person expects or sees in his dreams. Contrary to our expectations, some events in our life expose us to new experiences and feelings. In this case, the person who leaves himself in the flow of the situation will always remain in the pit, which distorts his personality badly. In such situations you should accept the fact and try to find solutions to the problems. Wallace Stegner said: "Wisdom is... knowing what you have to accept".
2. Hard facts about learning
Our mistakes are opportunities to learn, so don't make bigger mistakes by ignoring small mistakes. Of course, we can learn from our success and the success of others. Why not see mistakes and successes as great opportunities - for ourselves and for others. Take that opportunity to learn more and live better. Instead of envying the success of others, mark this as your opportunity to learn experiences for your own success.
3. The truth is endless about self-care
We take care of ourselves. If we sacrifice for others, it is even against our own will. Those desires include good feelings and the desire to see or do the world as we wish. Forget that and we're trying to "do the right thing." To avoid this pain of being in 'debt', we need to see that being a good person and doing the right thing is only self-interested.
We can also show interest in others when we try to correct their behavior. Telling someone they are wrong is usually not enough to change their behavior. It's better to show genuine interest in him - it's better for him to behave better. Remember to exercise normal and healthy self-interest in dealing with others and yourself. According to Stephen Covey, "Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There's no greater investment".
4. Enduring truths about change
You may have seen people who seem to learn nothing from their mistakes, right? Don't you know about people who have changed their lives? The more important truth is that people often don't change. Because change needs some kinds of modifications in your behavior and personality. Find out strategies to deal with changes in yourself and environment.The more important truth to remember, and the most important of these eternal truths, is that we can change.
5. Hard facts about preferences
Salvador Dali Quote: "Don't be afraid of perfection. You will never make it." Maybe you see it as a negative, but admitting the truth is not a negative thing. We all make mistakes. The greatest man or woman who ever lived—whoever it was—did some stupid things.
This is not an attack on human greatness, but a recognition that perfection does not depend on performance. Perfectionists must suffer for their demands, while others hesitate to act for fear of making mistakes. Accept that mistakes are normal and don't dwell on the possibility or reality of those mistakes. As La Tzu said: "Do your work, then retreat - the only way to peace".
