But learning those hard truths can be a difficult process that requires perseverance, courage, and dedication.
We will explore the deep insights that come from facing life’s most brutally honest moments and gain power through self-awareness and personal growth.
By embracing the realities of life head on and understanding how to leverage them for your benefit, you too can fuel your next level of professional achievement, no matter where you are at in your journey.
#1. Some People Pass Away Suddenly (and Expected Loss Is a Part of Life)
Death is a part of life.
However, it’s not something that everyone wants to face.
People will pass away suddenly, and future loss is always guaranteed.
It can be scary to a lot of people, regardless of whether they’re scared of it happening to them or someone close to them.
#2. You Can Do Everything Right and Still Not Have What You Want
Many of us have a specific belief in how life works and what we’re supposed to do in our lifetime.
Unfortunately, following all of the rules doesn’t always get you the intended results.
People can do everything they’re supposed to and end up in a position where they’re not even close to reaching their goals.
#3. Getting Older Can Suck
Getting older is something we all do but rarely can accept.
Many are sad that they’re aging to the degree where their body can’t do what it used to.
This can be distressing, even though it’s a natural consequence of the aging process.
#4. Friendships May End Without Reason
Friendships require a lot of work, especially since adulthood requires you to actively seek out friends since you’re not always around them like you would be in school.
People often drift apart because they’re busy or don’t share many common interests.
Your friendships can end without reason, even if you don’t necessarily want them to.
#5. Life Can Be Unfair for No Reason
Life doesn’t operate under a specific set of rules.
Good people who have followed the rules we believe are good can still face enormous life-changing developments that are not fair.
Life isn’t fair, and you can’t expect it to be.
#6. Mental Illness Will Take Time and Opportunities Away From You
Having a mental illness presents numerous challenges that make life more difficult to navigate.
One of the worst aspects of dealing with these disorders is realizing how much time has passed not having lived life.
Mental illness will take time and opportunities away from you, and it’s not fair.
#7. Terrible People Often Get Away With It
Most of us like to think there’s some karmic force out there that gets people who do bad things.
While it’s true that some people end up getting what they deserve, many people get off scot-free.
The lesson?
You sometimes have to let go and realize people won’t get their comeuppance.
#8. Family Members Don’t Always Have Your Best Interests at Heart
Our culture places a major emphasis on the family unit and adhering to traditional family values.
But many newer generations are learning that your family doesn’t always have your best interests at heart.
Much like any other type of relationship, family members can let you down or mistreat you.
#9. Most Adults Have No Idea What They’re Doing
As a child, it’s easy to think that adults have everything together.
Most adults are grown children who are equally confused about life.
This can impact you in multiple ways, and you might even feel like an imposter once you reach a certain age.
#10. You Have Limited Time With Pets
Pets are amazing creatures that are loyal, loving, and always happy to see us.
But while these companions are important to many, they have a much shorter lifespan.
Watching your pet age can be upsetting.
But as with humans, it’s just a part of life.
#11. Love Can Be Both Life-Affirming and Destructive
Love can be incredible, but that doesn’t mean it always is.
Many people have learned the hard way that some individuals will take advantage of them, abuse them, and beyond.
Even in healthy relationships, these connections can end suddenly, turning love bitter and making it harder to navigate life individually moving forward.
#12. You Can’t Help Someone Who Doesn’t Want to Be Helped
We’ve all come across someone who could use a little extra support.
That said, not everyone wants it.
Even if it’s within your power, you can’t save those who don’t want to be saved.
It hurts, but it’s up to them to accept the help.
Break Free and Live Extraordinary

How to Embrace Change
Change is a natural part of life, but most of us don’t like it.

But the sooner you embrace change, the happier you will be.
