Do you ever ask yourself
“How did I get here?” or “Why do these things always happen to me?”
Being honest with yourself is hard work. Honesty is the rejection of fantasy or delusion and the acceptance of what you know to be true, regardless of how ugly it may feel. It requires that you recognize the difference between what you want for yourself and what others expect of you, and the willingness to act on that distinction.
