You realizations I came to awhile ago:
You can't depend on people. People work towards their own interests.
The majority of people don't want to progress.
The only person you can depend on is yourself.
If you want something you got to bust your ass to get it
Very few people will understand or appreciate it your progress
Don't waste energy on ANYTHING/ANYONE that doesn't add value to my life
I've been called cold and heartless so many times. It's not true. I am by far the most caring person I know but I don't entertain any bullshyt period.
I have accepted that my father is going to eat himself to death and will not changed. He has had two heart attacks and almost had a stroke. His brother died of a stroke at the beginning of the year and my sister just had one but lived. Yet he still refused to get his health in order. I have come to accept that he may die soon. Loves food more than life. I told my mom that and she just started crying. I told her my priority is her and her health b/c she is trying and wants to do better.
OP it just sounds that you have accepted life for what it is...complete bullshyt. Don't let it get you down though. The small joys make life beautiful. Sometimes my goals and my dogs are all that get me by.
