3 things you probably need to hear at 2025
whats my goals?
1. Not everything that happens to you is your fault, but everything that happens to you is your responsibility.
you might be thinking, ‘How is everything that happens to me my responsibility? We’ll talk to people that we think are idiots. And occasionally we’ll be blindsided by tragedy or misfortune. Life is spicy, but if it’s in our life, it’s our responsibility to figure out what we’re going to do about it, because who else is responsible for our physical fitness, mental health, and social life? Who else is responsible for the types of people that we’re inviting into our life, and the type of reaction that we have when something doesn’t go our way? At the end of the day, it’s our responsibility to assume responsibility over the outcomes of our life, regardless of whose fault it may be.
2. Life gets easier when you’re on your own side
If you love yourself first and treat yourself with respect, you will have more love to give. When you dislike yourself and treat yourself poorly, then you will start to subliminally feel unlikable and worthless. If this is your default mode of being and you continue to treat yourself poorly, if you do not like yourself very much, then every single interaction that you have with every single person in your life will be tainted with the need to solve this inherent problem. Because we need to feel loved and accepted, and if you starve yourself of your own approval off the get-go, then every interaction that we have with people will be trying to gain that approval back. You will start to rely heavily on other people to make you feel validated and worth something.

What’s important is that we focus on our own progress and not get caught up in what others are doing. Comparison can be a source of motivation, but it can also be a source of frustration and anxiety. So, it’s important to be mindful of how much time we spend comparing ourselves to others and to remember that our own journey is unique and valuable.
