Whoever says money is the root of all evil is probably right.
But the sad reality is that money is important.
It buys you what you need and want.
In a way, having money gives you a sense of peace and security.
You know this truth.
So you spend your money wisely.
You never spend money based on impulses anymore.
And thats an incredible sign that youre being more responsible in your life now.
You are trying not to burn bridges anymore.
A good relationship is everythingremind yourself about this once in a while.
The connections that you build with people at work or in your personal life will benefit you indefinitely.
Youre smart enough to take good care of those bonds that you have with people.
Youre doing your best to protect them.
Youre learning that building walls around you doesnt protect you it actually makes you more isolated.
You hold yourself accountable for your mistakes.
Its a turn off when a person knows fully well that theyve made a mistake and still deny it.
You do not want to be that kind of person.
When youve hurt someones feelings, you apologize to them.
When youve messed up at work, youre quick to right what has gone wrong and learn from it.
You communicate your thoughts and feelings in a healthy way.
By now, you understand that people are generally not mind readers.
They dont always know what youre thinking and feeling.
You cant always expect them to ask you if youre okay.
People are busy with their own lives.
They have dramas they worry about other than yours.
You recognize that life is short, so you avoid beating around the bush.
You tell them whats bothering you.
Because thats how you maintain a healthy relationship by having an open discussion.
And if they are not very receptive about it, then thats their problem, not yours.
You are wholeheartedly willing to bury the past.
We have done stupid things before.
Weve made bad choices.
Weve hurt people and people have hurt us.
But youre reminding yourself that these are all memories from the past and youre ready to bury them.
Youre moving on to a completely different trajectory and dont dare to peek behind your shoulders.
The view ahead of you is more beautiful than what youve already left behind.
You look at the mirror in the morning and see how much youve improved.
You see potential in you.
You see that youre meant for great things and youre ready to embrace the future

You are proud of the choices you are making.
You may not be hitting crazy milestones right now, but youre proud of the progress youre making.
Youre getting to where you want to go slowly and steadily.
Youre enjoying the view on your way to your destination.
You try not to miss out on living the experience of moving from point A to point B.
Sometimes you make wrong detours because of your poor choices, but you dont count them as embarrassing failures.
Wrong detours give color to your story.
Even though youre getting lost sometimes, youre still proud of the journey youre adventuring on.
You know exactly what kind of relationship that works for you.
Heartaches suck, but they make you smarter.
Every romantic relationship youve had teaches you something powerful.
You are learning how to use your time effectively.
Throughout the years, youve figured out that the secret to productivity is essentially staying away from your smartphone.
If money is the root of all evil, then your phone is the root of all distractions.
Youve noticed that most successful people in the world have structured lives.
They know how to manage their time.
They are creatures of habits.
So you emulate those principles in your life.
You rarely pay attention to senseless things.
You invest your time on activities that are either productive or will give value to you later on.
Your future makes more sense now.
You wake up one day and suddenly decide which road is right for you.
And its all that matters for now.
You are not scared of change.
You have a good grasp of how this world works.
The idea that nothing is set in stone is not foreign to you.
You know that people say one thing and do the other.
Youve witnessed circumstances shift in just a few minutes.
Youve watched an entire mountain be swallowed by fire.
Things constantly change and so are you.
Its almost like nothing surprises you anymore.
you’re able to anticipate a blindside even before it happens.
you could tell when something is about to go wrong.
you could read situations and people, and youre quick to adapt and adjust to your environment.
You are not intimidated by change.
Because youve learned, in a painful way, that to survive is to change.
To stay still puts you at risk of being left behind.
And to not make any progress at all in your life is perhaps scarier than death.
