We are now at a stage of life where we all should be aware of the harsh realities of our life. We have been ignoring those realities for some times, whether for others or ourselves.

But, ignoring the realities is not the solution for your life, you have to face the harsh side of it one day or the other.

Truth is bitter, we all know it and you can’t change it. It will never help you in your life if you continuously ignore the truth rather it will increase your sorrow, guilt, depression etc.

We all should ask questions to ourselves about how we get those sorrow or grief. You will get the answers if you think deeply and this answer will make you strong.

This article brings you about 13 harsh realities of our life. Therefore, it is better to know the life realities and accept it right now to lead a happy and peaceful life in future. 

1. Your life is a dream for many people

If you don’t like your life, if you think it is boring, has no fun in it, always remember that your life is a dream for many people. They want to live like you.

May be you have a Samsung mobile, not an Iphone, you may be craving for it, but, there are many people who don’t even have any Smartphone. Be happy for what you have.

So, respect your life and enjoy it as it is. Remember that you are blessed with this life.

2. More friends, more fun: not always true

It is better to keep in mind that more friends means more fun is not always true. Not every friend of you is a true friend or a well-wisher.

In other hand, lesser friends mean lesser complications. They are not always countable, i.e. when you are in need, only that time you can count the number of your true friends.

In our life there are some special moments where you have to face alone all the things, there will be no one to support you that time and you have to overcome it by own. Only that time you will realize about life and your trust-able connections.

One best friend is enough for lifetime rather than many friends. Remember that, “a friend to all is a friend to none”. 

3. You will win half the battle by your mindset

Your mindset is everything to cope up with the lot of things whether it will be your job or any work or maintaining relationships. Always set a positive mindset towards your life.

If you ever face any tough situation in your life, don’t lose hope, set a clear positive mindset and go ahead.  You will surely win. A positive mindset will help you to win half the battle.  

4. Money is too much important

You may hear from many people that money is not everything, money can’t buy happiness etc. But if you really want to live a good life then money is very much essential.

It is a harsh reality of life that everything needs money, and yes, you can buy some of your happiness (whichever you desire) with it. So, keeping it in mind, earn and save money as required for your future.  

5. Expectations hurt always

Expectations always hurt. In some time, our life is bound with other people’s unrealistic expectations. The pressure of their expectations harm your life a lot.

Life is meant to be free, but due to impractical expectations of others sometimes we have to lead an undesirable life. If you failed to fulfill the expectation, it will hurt them a lot.

It is how other’s expectations hurt you, but same thing is applicable in your case also. Don’t pressurize another people by your expectations, because, if it’s not fulfilled, you also get hurt by them.

You can expect things only from you in this world, not from any other persons. 

6. You can’t please everybody

Your life is meant to live in your own terms. You are here for not to please everybody, it is not your job, and if you even try it, you will fail, because you can’t please everybody in this world.

There are different people with different expectations, so, it is not possible to fulfill each and everything for them. Just be yourself. Sometimes, if you want to please someone, then you has to fake your emotions towards them, it hurts a lot.

Whatever you possibly do for all, someone will be unhappy with you. Even if they have a reason to be unhappy, you should not care about it. So, don’t even try it. Just try to please yourself first. It is not selfish, it is important.  

7. Failure is a part of our life

It is a universal truth that failure is a part of our life. If you want to do something big or productive then you must face some failures or obstacles. But, if you get scared about your failure then it is impossible to move forward.

So, don’t fear at all, always remember that it is a part of your life and try to learn something from every failure. It may be a utmost lesson in your life that helps you to achieve big.

8. Self love is more important

Number eight on the list of life realities is self-love. As you grow you can learn this harsh realities about life that self-love is more important than any romantic love.

It is very necessary to build a positive relationship to yourself. There is no need to find the perfect relationship with another person to be truly happy.

Society drags us to a point where we are taught to maintain or bear a perfect relationship to be happy.

However, this is totally a wrong massage. Anyone can be truly happy with himself or herself only; there is no need of another person or any romantic love.

9. You may be busy but not productive

Every one of us is busy, but that doesn’t mean they are all productive. There is a fine difference between the business and productiveness.

You have to calculate the actual work done by you in a whole day, which is productive. You may pretend busy but not doing any productive works.

May be you don’t set a clear goal and waste your time by doing various other things. In this case, set a routine and do the work effortlessly, use the 24 hours in a day very wisely.

10. Life is not perfect

The harsh reality of life you have to accept today is “life is not perfect”. Nobody’s life is perfect, and it is beautiful with so many imperfections like, sadness, hardness, expectations, exhaustion etc.

Your life may be messy or imperfect but you have to find your happiness through these imperfections. You should happy with your present life rather than waiting for your future life.

11. The bulk of society channels you in the wrong direction

You need a proper wisdom to understand that the majority of the society triggers you in the wrong direction. Yes, you read it right. They want to lead your life in their own terms, which never be always right.

Most people don’t gear you towards a happy, successful, productive and meaningful life. Instead of they set your mind on negativity, fear, weakness, mediocrity and superstitions.

Some people just focus about others life instead of their own and they force you to live your life in their terms no matter how wrong it is. It distracts you from focusing at your own goals, happiness and well-being.

So, justify any steps you take by your own terms.

12. Your health is your priority

Always prioritise your health first, remember health is wealth. No matter what happens, don’t risk your health for the sake of anyone.

Food industry doesn’t care about your health as it promotes processed foods that are cheap and easily available but, it is very unhealthy for your body.

So, take care of your health properly by yourself and avoid those junk foods seriously.

13. There is always something to be thankful for

Being grateful doesn’t make you weak, it can full your life with happiness, health, wealth, good relationships, productivity etc. build a habit to write down all the things you are grateful for.

In this society, we always want to see us in a better position, and during this rat race, we forget to be grateful for the things we already have. We are busy to focus on negative things a much when the positive things in our life remain unseen and unsung.

No matter how small the thing you get, you should remain thankful for it. If you can’t find anything to be thankful for, then just be grateful for your life only. Life is the most precious thing you have. 

This is a reality of life that you should remain grateful for your life, parents, friends, your position, strength, health, love, belongings, mistakes, happiness etc. and for every other things in your life.
