You Have To Get Under Someone In Order to Get Over Someone
That is how you become a codependent person. It is imperative that you learn how to feel through things and process emotions on your own. Otherwise, you'll become someone who needs romantic relationships in order to feel complete. The best way to get over someone is to accept that your life is a book with many chapters. Not everyone is meant to be on the next page of your story.
Technology is Making You Dumb
That is actually the total opposite. Due to technology, we are now able to spread information much more quickly and efficiently more than ever. You do not have to read your research from outdated books and studies. You can access new information from prolific scholars with a click of a mouse. Also, you can get things done more quickly like pay bills, grocery shop, and other day-to-day things with the convenience of the internet. That allows you to have more time for other things such as self-development.
It Doesn't Matter If You Love The Job If It Pays The Bills
Imagine waking up early and commuting to a place you hate almost every day just to sit there for 8 hours and be miserable. Why be a glutton for punishment? At some point, you are going to have to really think of a game plan to deliver yourself from misery. Subjecting yourself to that kind of mistreatment is more expensive than any bill due on the first of the month. You aren't ungrateful or entitled for wanting better for yourself. Don't waste your time being unhappy because you want to play it safe and put your bills before your mental health.
No one Is Perfect. Once You're Married You're Stuck
I am not doubting the fact that you should always be willing to work on your marriage and learn your partner. However, there are definitely justifiable reasons for exiting a marriage. It is okay to choose your happiness and peace. Peace is not something that you compromise. One day you're going to be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Choose a Career for Its Stability
There's a lot of people who are in the medical field who would have rather been in an art studio doing what they love. Some people choose careers to play it safe, not because they have the heart for it. Not only are they not fully satisfied because they settled, but it is also unfair to those the work environment as a whole because the passion isn't there. Would you want a surgeon who finds research and looking at charts boring? Don’t pick a profession just because you know it’ll bring financial comfort. Life is way more fulfilling when you take risks. nothing worth having comes that easy. That passion in your heart isn’t there for no reason.
Don't Be Friends With Your Children
You should be your children's first friend if anything. There is a misconception that your children have to literally fear you in order to respect you. There are many children who are currently in trouble, going through so much, and can't even come to their parents about it because the way the relationship is. You can have a friendship with your children with boundaries. I am very close to my mother and there are certain things I just won't say or do in front of her purely out of respect. I am also mindful of my decisions because I genuinely respect what we have. She's still my best friend but there are boundaries. As a parent, you are the enforcer, provider, nurse, and counselor. Your role is multifaceted and friend should be on that list. Also, my mom being my best friend has taught me how to value friendships and notice when someone has my best interest at heart. All the older adults who side eyed our friendship have children who can't even come to them to talk or when they got older, their kids created distance between them. In short, you can be both a parent and a friend.
