1. Life is darn complicated
Life is tough, no matter what other people say. Nothing that brings you satisfaction is easy or untroublesome. If you think really successful people are living without sweat, you’re awfully wrong. Life is hard for everyone but people don’t get that. It’s convenient for them to believe that Bill Gates or Beyonce are touched by fate and that those achievements have no end for them. They simply don’t want to admit that someone like this finds life difficult.
2. You cannot control everything

Though we are taught to go get the things we want and take control over our lives in order to guide it towards the desired direction, we are not in control. Suffering is born out of fear you’re not in control. So as to stop aching, you must let go of control and start trusting more, both in yourself and others. Opening up to other people is frowned upon and signals insecurity. That’s why so many of us hide our vulnerabilities.
3. It’s OK to express emotions
In our today’s society, men are believed to be warriors of life, capable of facing any hardship that life throws at them. And without showing any emotion. Men choose to not display their feelings, out of fear they might be viewed as wusses. Eventually, they become a frustrated time bomb waiting to explode.
As long as you stay true to yourself, you’ll become exactly the person you want to become! Pass this on!
