“Do I talk to and treat myself like I’m my own best friend?”

Make no mistake.
Happiness and comfort are not the same things.
Ieva Urenceva
you might be both, absolutely.
Wanting to be financially stable and successful is not a bag thing.
So if your bank account wasnt an issue, what would you do?
Because if there is, you might just strike gold.
Deep down, you probably know.
So examine things, ask yourself the tough questions.

Getting to the root of the problem is the first step to solving it.
Your heart is easily manipulated and your head often overthinks.
Your gut instinct always knows.
So if you were to answer without thinking too much or too emotionally, what would you say?
While attempting to emulate someone you admire isnt EXACTLY the same thing, its not a bad idea either.
Take their advice, study their patterns that seem opposite to yours.
You might be surprised by how living like them helps you BE like them.
And, in turn, be happier with yourself.
Life doesnt just happen to you.
Stumbling into things that make you ecstatically happy is something that only happens on TV.
If you want things to be magical, sometimes you have to make the magic yourself.
If you were to take a chance, take the leap, what is the ultimate worst case scenario?
Sometimes really looking at and facing the bad that could happen makes the bad a little less intimidating.
you better be honest with yourself.
If its not the worst case scenario, why are youreallynot going after what you want?
So what are the things you keep saying youll do or WANT to do…but then just dont?
Give yourself permission to do the things that youre curious about or that make you excited.
You deserve to check things off your bucket list.
Think about the standard you hold yourself to.
Would you expect anywhere near that of anyone else in your life?
The things you tell yourself, would you say them to your best friend?
you oughta give yourself a break and be a little kinder to yourself.
And if so, why?
Make no mistake, settling is in no way synonymous with failure.
Settling can lead to regrets that maybe arent massive, but are there nonetheless.
Things you wish you would have done.
Holding onto things instead of letting go is, frankly, a selfish and often fruitless endeavor.
Theres no glory in hanging onto things just for the sake of hanging onto them.
No one is winning prizes for Obsessed And Lingered And Refused To Let Go For The Longest!!!
Harboring things will only end up holdingyouback.
Emotionally, mentally, maturity wise.
The person who wins when you let go?
What are the things that make you the happiest?
That fulfill you the most?
That make waking up an adventure instead of something you dread?
Dont let the things that you love teeter off and dont let yourself grow distant from them.
So focus on them, and the rest will likely follow.
