I’ve noticed that sometimes people pride themselves on being a mess. Not exactly overtly, but it’s as if they identify more with their shortcomings than with strength and growth. And they enjoy the negative attention that they gain from their life being a train wreck.
There’s no point in doing that. It just reinforces the negative.
Don’t pride yourself on being a train wreck. Don’t succumb to your shortcomings.
Accept where you are in life and figure out a plan to get out of your rut if you’re in one. Don’t give yourself over to it. Don’t just accept that your life sucks and it’s going to continue to suck, because a) that’s bullshit and b) that’s only going to happen if you let it happen.
So look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you’re going to stop identifying with and gaining attention from your shortcomings. Then come up with a plan to change your life.
Don’t be a train wreck.
