Are you owning it?

This is a painful truth for many.

One of the most prominent trends in people’s lives when things go wrong, is that they surround themselves with those who make them feel better about where they’re at, rather than those who push them to step up and own their life.

You won’t ever grow beyond your current challenges if you constantly have people telling you how brave you are for living with it.

Cherish those who hold you to a higher standard, not those who pacify you when you’re wrong.

Of the rarest of creation, I believe, must be the sincere advisor.

Too many offer advice because they think it’s good advice and not because they genuinely understand or are invested in supporting or uplifting the one who is experiencing difficulties.

Such advisors regurgitate advice that worked for them, meaning well, but not realising that they’re making it about them rather than focusing on what you’re grappling with.

If you find a sincere and credible advisor (emphasis on credible), cherish them, because their commitment is to your upliftment, and not to their own ego.
