Some harsh truths........................

.................................that make us stronger:

2.  You will fail sometimes.
The faster you accept this, the faster you can get on with moving forward.  So don't let failure get to your heart (or success to your head).  Do your best and let your consistent daily actions speak for themselves over the long term.

5.  There's a lot you can't control.
You don't have to control everything to find peace and happiness.  It lives with you always, deep within.  See what happens when you loosen your grip, throw your hands into the air, and allow life to just happen and flow.

7.  You can't be successful without providing value.
Don't waste your time trying to be successful.  Spend your time adding value to the world around you.

13.  In life, you get what you put in.
If you want love, give love.  If you want friends, be one.  If you want money, provide value.
