We grow tired of playing pretend and grow tired of seeking one-sided relationships.
In many ways, we grow tired of where we are in life.
We get stuck daydreaming about the day thatll come without realizing that days already here.

Theyre just not as valuable to me as my own opinion of myself.
So, it got me thinking: What other toxic traits have been holding me back?
Which ones do I need to let go of for become the best version of myself?
Maybe these will apply to you.
Sometimes you just outgrow your group of friends.
2. you better stop saying yes to things you dont want to do.
Its okay if the person on the other side of no disagrees.
Far too often, we let other peoples plans and desires dictate our free time.
3. it’s crucial that you realize its okay for your dreams and goals to change.
Sometimes thats not possible or desirable anymore.
Its okay that dreams change because life changes.
In reality, trying to fix someone is a way for us to reap a personal reward.
We feel better when someone thanks us or says What would I do without you?
It feels good to help but you oughta check your motivation for getting involved.
5. you better let go of the idea that you might change someones mind about you.
Even if youre the nicest person in the world, someone will complain about it.
While being liked is important, its not necessary for you to hold value in yourself.
Its okay to not be liked by someone.
They have a right to not like you, just as you have a right to not like them.
Sometimes its as simple as your vibe not mixing with someone elses.
6. you better stop going to everyone for their opinions.
No ones opinions are going to line up with yours.
Cut out the aggravation.
Have faith that your decision is whats right for you and move forward with it.
You dont need anyone elses approval when they have their own life to live.
7. you gotta stop selling yourself short.
Let go of the idea that you always have to apologize.
Listen, theres nothing wrong with admitting when youre wrong or accepting that your words or actions hurt someone.
Owning up to your own wrongdoings is part of being a healthy adult.
All it does is victimize yourself and lead to difficult relationships.
Stop thinking that you owe someone.
You dont owe anything to anyone.
You are not responsible for the choices someone else makes for their own reasons.
You have to let go of the idea that you have time.
Life can change on a dime.
The truth of the matter is that were only on this planet for a short while.
Spend it doing the things you love with the people you genuinely want to spend your time with.
Dont ever settle for anything else.
The only person youre hurting by not choosing today to make a difference in your life is you.
You have to let go of the idea of being an expert right away.
No matter what you tackle, you will not be an expert right away.
Honestly, learning something new is part of the fun.
You have to let go of the idea that you have to be good at something right away.
Its okay if your learning curve takes time, because eventually, youll get there.
And when you do, its going to feel so good.
