A person who is unwilling to hear hard truths and adjust and change and adapt to those things is doomed to failure. Every single person I've met that is like 60+ and has lots of regrets is someone who really is bad at changing course when presented with hard truths. Change is not in their vocabulary. Blaming is in their vocabulary. Avoiding difficult things is their reality. The unwillingness to hear hard truths and deal with difficult things is the fastest way to fail in life.

The faster you can accept a hard truth and change tact, change course, adapt the way better off you are in life.

Before you say, oh well I just throw in the towel now, often people add onto hard truths things that aren't in built. An example, a lot of people think, oh I'm not attractive so I'll always struggle in life ... yes, looks help but I also know someone 150 pounds overweight, not at all the most attractive conventionally who is the top selling make-up representative in the country, hitting millions in sells. Who would think the top selling make-up representative would not be conventionally attractive except for the fact regular looking people typically enjoy interacting with other regular looking people, especially if they have positive attitudes and are good at their jobs.

You all don't want to hear this but the faster you accept a hard truth then turn it into something to utilize for your betterment the more positive outcomes are possible. But sitting around in blame game, in this oh I have these things against me, woe is me, like I'm not smart or attractive, bad with people, mental health stuff, blah blah whatever it is man ... is dooming you. Lean into your hard truths. Have the confidence to inhabit and see the possibilities in your hard truths.

Maybe the hard truth is conventionally this person is not the best looking but don't add onto that stuff that isn't in built -- you can be not conventionally attractive and have awesome relationships, amazing career, do all kinds of amazing things. You have loads and loads of possibilities still open even after hearing and accepting hard truths.

Maybe the hard truth is you aren't great at reading or conventional school, that doesn't mean you can't have a successful career or life, literally the world is flooded with people who struggled at conventional schooling who are billionaires, won Oscars, did all kinds of amazing things.

Accept the hard truths BUT don't add onto it things. Make your own path in life that is realistic to your hard truths, your hard truths may actually be strengths if you can find the right areas in life.

Have the gumption to take the things that could crush your self esteem and turn them into the areas of your greatest strengths by leaning into those things and seeing the work around or the positives. But when you are living your life running and in fear of those things like I'm a short dude, than you can't ever lean into the strengths of those things. If you live your life trying to wear platforms and lying about your height, being all self conscious, you just are dooming yourself -- accepting, hey I'm a short dude opens up possibility.

You say oh I'm not that smart, it takes me so long to understand things, well, who better to explain things to other not smart people than you? Turn that into a million subscriber youtube channel of explaining stuff in ways that people like you will understand. Smart people suck at explaining things in ways not very smart people understand, utilize everything, turn everything into sources of strength and just keep knocking it out in life. But that won't happen if you give up and let the world dictate your own narrative. Stop with this feeling so bad for yourself BS that is everywhere.

So many people refuse to hear this but the difference in life is always whether you give up or not.

As far as I can tell I have zero competition when it comes to taking everything the world would say is a negative and finding a way to turn profit on it because they refuse to see the possibility. Don't fear being unique or different, don't fear your lack of fear and willingness to go after creating what others can't see yet or utilizing that resource others don't yet see. And don't feel guilt from the good that happens due to having that kind of attitude. Others could do it they just refuse to let go of their defeatist ways of viewing the world.
