Own Up To Your Bullshit: A Call For Tough Love

Why continue to complain about the things you allow, unwilling to change, and what you continue to enable? Venting becomes unhealthy when you have the same situation on repeat.

You are not responsible for calming other people’s chaos, but you are responsible for calming yours. You are not to blame for the unfortunate circumstances you have encountered; but, you are to blame for your lack of acknowledgment, self-accountability, and what you continue to choose to tolerate.

Your healing cannot depend on the accountability of someone else. Ultimately, it is up to you to be a victim or a victor. Let go of self-pity. Stop looking for a handout. You are only as helpless as you allow. You cannot want others to want what is for you more than what you want it for yourself. You are not entitled to anything in this life. Be willing to work for the things and people you want.

People value being self-made, getting things done with little to no help. Stating, “I am self-made. I did it on my own. No one helped me.” These types of statements are made with a cynical and bitter undertone as if someone is obligated to help. Let’s be clear. Help is excellent and appreciated, and, at times, is needed, but humble yourself. After you become an adult, this is the way it should be.

Own up to your bullshit. Acknowledge how you have played a helping hand in things being the way that they are for you. Acknowledge you have the power to change the way things are.
