Since I am starting this blog from scratch, most of the articles/topics also have a beginners feel to them. I want you guys to have a solid foundation on the basics and then together we can work our way up.

This post is called reality check because there are some important things that I think you should know and accept. I will admit from the get go that some of the stuff I am going to say are going to sound harsh, so consult with your doctor before you continue reading.

First of all you need to come to the realization that in reality, there are very few people out there who have your best interest at heart. The rest, as sad as it may sound, only appear that way. Their attitude towards you can change based on circumstances.

I am sure you have all had some experience in life where you thought a person had your best interest at heart, but times proved otherwise. Same can be said about friends. Again, most of your friends want you to succeed, but not surpass them, as this causes jealousy and insecurity.

This is not a big deal really, BUT you should know that this element exists in our society.

The reality is that if you put all your dependency on other people, they will eventually let you down. This is just how people are. Not always reliable.

This is not meant to put you down, rather it should give you a strong sense of confidence because you wont let this fact mess you up emotionally/mentally.

You see, I want you to trust people and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. What I don’t want you to do is to DEPEND on people, because you will be let down, and when that happens, it takes something away from your sense of confidence.

I see people all the time betting everything on certain people only to have their hopes shattered.

What is the solution? Actually it is more like a mindset. You just need to know that people will let you down and your feelings will be hurt so try not to get too attached to what others promise you.

Another reality is that people don’t like to be bothered. If it doesn’t concern them, or benefit them, they simply don’t care. Again, this a sad reality, but something you definitely should know. I will talk about how to ask others for help in future articles because we all face situations where external help is needed (its all about creating convenience).

So there you have it. A very simple blog post for you to give some thoughts and accept things for what they are. Please don’t start crying, and instead work with what you know and BE GOOD to others.

It is when you realize that the best human to trust is yourself, you become empowered and confident.

Talk soon.
