The Best advice for a 3 and 7?
We Decide Who We Want to Be, But We Must Face Our Truth.
The path to success is often clouded by the temptation to pretend—whether it’s pretending to have it all figured out, pretending to be someone we’re not, or pretending that things are easier than they really are. The popular saying, "Fake it till you make it," suggests that success is something to be achieved through appearance, but that mindset only works if, and only if, you can truly reflect on who you’ve become along the way.
The truth is, success built on falsehoods is fragile. To truly succeed, you must face the truth about yourself—your strengths, your weaknesses, your desires, and your limitations. If you lie to yourself in pursuit of success, the journey becomes a house of cards, and eventually, the truth will catch up to you.
Success is not about becoming someone you're not, but about becoming the best version of yourself through self-awareness and authenticity. The real key to success isn’t just pushing forward with a smile while hiding your struggles. It’s about embracing your truth, reflecting on your progress, and learning from both your triumphs and your failures.
So, ask yourself—are you faking it or are you growing? True success is the ability to look at where you are, acknowledge where you’ve been, and understand who you’ve truly become. And that comes only from honesty with yourself, every step of the way.
